On June 17, at the World Cup in Brazil, matches of Group H will start, in which the Russian national team will play. The first to enter the field of the stadium in Belo Horizonte were the national teams of Belgium and Algeria.
At the Mineirao stadium, about 65,000 spectators watched a very interesting and exciting match. The Belgian national team before the start of the tournament was a "dark horse" - a team from which you can expect a lot. This is no coincidence, as the Belgians have a remarkable generation of players playing in top clubs in Italy, England and other European championships.
The first half was dominated by the Europeans, but the latter failed to create super dangerous chances at the gates of Algeria. The Africans were able not only to defend their goal, but also to score the ball. Feguli converted a penalty kick on 25 minutes. Algeria took the lead, and numerous Africans in the stadium and in front of the TV screens began to rejoice. The first half ended just like that - with a minimal advantage for Algeria.
In the second half of the meeting, the Belgian national team significantly improved, showing their superiority in the class. Mark Wilmots made all three replacements, which were destined to play a decisive role. The second half of the half was in high-quality and sharp attacks of the Europeans, and on the 70th minute the player of Manchester United and the Belgian team Fellaini sent the ball into the goal after a brilliant feed into the penalty area. The round one struck the crossbar and crossed the line. The goal turned out to be very beautiful.
After the goal was scored, the Belgians increased their pace even more. Already 10 minutes later, in an exemplary counterattack in several passes, the Belgians delivered the ball to Napoli player Dries Mertens, who shot irresistibly on goal. The substitute player scores again. 2 - 1 were led by the Europeans.
At the end of the match, Belgium could have scored more, but the score has not changed. The Europeans were able to turn the tide of the match in their favor, confirming the tendency of the World Cup that one goal scored still does not solve anything. Another strong-willed victory in the championship, and Belgium is gaining the first three points in Group H, and the Algerian national team has shown itself to be a very uncompromising rival, with whom it is difficult for recognized masters to play.
