Panama, playing their first-ever World Cup game, have shown some grit and determination to hold off a star-studded Belgium team so far. Eden Hazard and co. have tested the Panama defence but Jaime Penedo in the Panama goal has been brilliant so far. Can they do this for another 45 minutes?
Belgium fanny about for a while then whack it long up the right for Meunier who has slipped behind Davis en route to the corner flag but the referee blows his whistle while his overhit cross is still airborne.
It seems Belgium have succumbed to ‘Arsenal disease’, endless over-elaboration and a failure to take responsibility. Hazard again bursts into the box from the left and once more lays it off instead of shooting. Time was tight as was space but he had to have a dig from there. Two minutes will be added.
Let’s see what they will produce in the second half.
