Morocco edged closer to securing their spot in the FIFA World Cup last 16 after defeating Belgium 2-0 on Sunday afternoon. SLInt MORE:
The Red Devils made three changes to the side that edged Canada, as Thomas Meunier, Amadou Onana and Thorgan Hazard were recalled while Michy Batshuayi continued to lead the front line in place of Romelu Lukaku, who is recovering from a thigh injury.
Walid Regragui's charges continued to find spaces on counter-attacks and Hakim Ziyech found the back of the net on the stroke of half-time with a curling free-kick that evaded shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois but his goal was disallowed for offside after a Video Assistant Referee review. Roberto Martinez had seen enough after that as he made a double attack-minded change, with Youri Tielemans and Dries Mertens tasked with getting Belgium back into the game.
