France against Belgium. The world’s second-ranked team against the world’s third-ranked team. Nobody expected the match to be played out in such a dull manner for 90 minutes. Relying on Vertonghen’s own goal, France luckily beat Belgium and advanced to the quarter-finals.
Although the Belgian players were dissatisfied, they could only accept this cruel reality. After the game, Belgian goalkeeper Courtois gave an interview and also expressed deep disappointment. He said, “It was a match that could have ended in a variety of ways, a detail made us pay a heavy price. I think we could have put more pressure on France. We had to react faster, but we didn’t have enough possession, it was definitely not a great game, but maybe not that bad either.”
