Two matches and two victories. Twelve goals scored, no conceded. The ambition displayed at the start of the week was brilliantly filled. And without ever trembling. The opponents were certainly modest, but the devils did the job. They are fully launched in a three -place fight for first place.
Kazakhstan (FIFA 114) is not Liechtenstein (FIFA 204). If Coach Garcia’s warnings were not enough, the first minutes are there to confirm it. There is more intensity, of physical respondent on Anderlecht’s lawn than Vaduz. But the Devils are an appointment. The opponent is grouped in his camp and does not see the ball much.
The Belgian game leans to the right, Timothy chestnuts multiplies initiatives. His teammates are slow to get in tune. Corner blows add up (5 in a quarter of an hour). But there is too much waste in the finishing zone. You have to wait a free kick from Kevin de Bruyne To hang the frame (20th). The minutes flow, the marquer remains seized. Even if the danger is becoming clearer … on both sides of the field. KDB alert Mukhamein Seisesert Charles de Ketelaere a nice exterior of the foot. Maxim de Cuyper is always also present in the opposing rectangle. The tense strike of Maximodov acts as a recall bit. It is time to materialize domination (16 shots at 2). And if possible before the break.
The offensive line received the message. Leandro Trossard And from Ketelaere – an inspired heel – combine to isolate Bruyne. The talent of the Neapolitan is doing the rest. Its shot is cleaning the skylight and unlocks the meter (42nd, 1-0). The Maestro de Drongen joins Eden Hazard with 33 roses in selection. Jéééy dockspent on the left, tumbles on Sn flank. He fixes his opponent and finds the opposite net (44th, 2-0). The break is done, just before the break.
The tap is open, the break does not break the momentum of the devils. Nicolas raspinopportunistic, arises at the second post to push a center of Doku to the bottom. His first goal in the national team (52nd, 3-0). Doku pushes the nail of a powerful cross shot (60th, 4-0). The public of the Lotto Park still has a few opportunities to shudder. And two to get excited: the 34th goal of KDB (83rd) and the realization of Thomas Meunier (87th). Each time served by another replacement: Alexis Saelemaekers.
Dastan satpayevthe nugget of Kazakhstan, allows Thibaut Courtois to be illustrated (78th). The Real goalkeeper and his defense validate a second clean-sheet in three days. Kazakhstan may not be Liechtenstein but the price is the same.
In the standings, Macedonia leads the dance with 11 points in five games. Wales (5 games) and Belgium (4 games) follow with 10 units. October will be decisive for the devils who will face their two direct opponents.
