Where goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a brilliant save of a penalty kick, Batshuayi managed to score for the Belgian team

In the first half, both the teams played attacking football

Although the Canadian team, which came to play the World Cup after 36 years, was playing a bit more aggressively and took a total of 14 shots in the first half, but not a single one was on target

[{"selector":"#anim-924c5942-8356-45fd-98df-6d8ff0513128 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e41f618-f1fd-4707-94e3-807941fef2c2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-47533e56-a970-42fe-b2ae-d38086921494","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(98.57482%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

During this, the golden opportunity to score a goal for Canada came in the 10th minute when a penalty kick was awarded due to a handball by a Belgian player
