In a World Cup of plentiful shocks, Morocco beating Belgium cannot really be put alongside Saudi Arabia’s humbling of Argentina, or Japan’s sensational comeback against Germany
At one point in the second half, De Bruyne looked so exasperated by passes going astray that he continued to stare straight ahead, with the action going on behind him. This is not Manchester City, or anything close to that level. That had become abundantly clear.
“It is very frustrating. In the first game we were not good but we were lucky. Today we created no chances from what I could see.” Having lined up to sing the national anthem, hand on heart, Bono was then replaced by understudy Munir Mohamedi in the starting XI before the team photo had even taken place. It later turned out to be a problem with the stopper’s vision.
With Belgium struggling to string more than a handful of passes together in the second half, the goal that truly rocked the kasbah to its core was eerily similar to the disallowed effort, as former Huddersfield winger Abdelhamid Sabiri whipped a free-kick into the middle, former Wolves defender Romain Saiss deflected it goalwards. Courtois again should have kept it out in truth, but this time there was no offside flag to get him off the hook.
