World Cup | Lukaku missed the opportunity and Belgium was eliminated, Morocco and Croatia won Group F for the first time (00:56) - 20221202 - Sports - Instant News

In this life-and-death battle for the Belgian team, for the first time, the offensive player Leandou Duchat, who performed well in Breton this season, was selected as the main pick, and he partnered with Qiyun Dibney and Mertens to attack. However, Mertens missed the goal in the 13th and 42nd minutes of the first half, and missed a great opportunity for the “Red Devils” to open the scoring first. Had it not been for the ball certificate to overturn the 12-yard penalty after watching the VAR replay video, Belgium would have lost as early as 16 minutes.

Belgium, which failed to score a goal in 5 goals in the first half, decided to give it a go after switching sides. The under-formed center Lukaku replaced Mertens, who had repeatedly missed opportunities, and then Dugan Hazat. Li Ando Duchat, hoping to further strengthen the offensive power, but Lukaku, who came on as a backup, became another “prodigal boy”. First, a supplementary shot in front of the goal popped out in 60 minutes, and two minutes later he responded to Dibney’s teleportation near goal. The top was raised again. Belgium, which failed to attack violently, could only draw a goalless draw with the Greek army in the end.

In another match in the same group, Morocco beat Canada 2-1. In the first half, Morocco only took 4 minutes to score first by midfielder Xue Yezhi, and striker Anjesli made a single-handed contribution to Ashuraf’s pass in 23 minutes, helping the team expand its lead. Although the Moroccan defender Agut accidentally “set his own goal” to help Canada break the egg when he cleared the siege in 40 minutes, Morocco still returned with a small victory over the Canadian army and entered the round of 16 together with the Greek army. As for Canada, which participated in the World Cup final week again after 36 years, it became the other team that “graduated” with a 0-point defeat in the group stage besides the host country Qatar.
