Canada defender Alphonso Davies often makes players look silly with outrageous pieces of skill, but this time the victim is Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans.

Belgium pipped Canada 1-0 thanks to Michy Batshuayi's first-half goal on Wednesday in a World Cup group F clash.

Thibaut Courtois proved to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world currently after he saved Davies' early penalty.

The Bayern Munich left-back produced incredible skills inside the first half as he tried to make amends for the penalty miss.

Leicester City midfielder Tielemans had the unenviable task of matching up Ghanaian-born Canadian speedster as his Belgium side aim to win their first major trophy in Qatar.

In one moment of astonishing skill, Davies absolutely destroyed him with one of the most brilliantly executed pieces of skill we’ve seen so far at this World Cup.

In a video posted on Twitter, it's safe to say Tielemans quite literally collapsed after Davies pulled out the skill.

However, Tielemans had the last laugh as his team defeated a Canada side playing their first World Cup match in 36 years.
