World Cup 2018, Thomas Meunier, Eden Hazard Score As Belgium Beat England To Finish 3rd
#MTNShortz3Sixtyworld
Belgium beat England 2-0 to finish third in the FIFA World Cup 2018 on Saturday. An early Thomas Meunier goal gave Belgium the lead in the first half and Eden Hazard scored the second goal in the 82nd minute.
Belgium dominated the game in the first twenty minutes with a host of chances coming their way. England crawled back into the game but there weren’t any clear-cut chances for the Three Lions.
Belgium were the better side throughout the majority of the match. Thibaut Courtois remained untested in the first half. The closest England came to scoring was in the second half when Marcus Rashford slipped a beautiful pass to Eirc Dier who calmly chipped it over Courtois but only to be cleared from the goal line by Toby Alderweireld. Hazard finished with a brilliant through-ball played by Kevin De Bryune to erase any England’s chance in the closing stages.
