Courtois outclasses Youssef En Nesyri

Meanwhile, Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois displayed cool composure, as his skill left Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri gasping for air.

In one incident, the ball was played back to Courtois and instead of the Real Madrid goalkeeper booting the ball upfield, he turned En-Nesyri inside out as the Sevilla striker glided past him.

Yassine Bounou's disappearing act

Sports Brief has also reported that a crazy occurrence took place, seconds before Belgium versus Morocco at the Al Thumama Stadium in Qatar.

Morocco's first-choice goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was named in Walid Regragui's starting XI and even lined up for the national anthems.

As soon as the game began though, it was discovered Bounou had not taken up his place in the Moroccan goal, with Al Wehda's goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi between the sticks instead.
