Summary of today's events in sports, 18.11 (Sport1)

The Belgium national team lost today (Friday) 2:1 to Egypt in its first and last preparation game for the 2022 World Cup. Although it is only a preparation game, it is a disappointing and perhaps worrying result for the Belgians, who lined up with a strong lineup that includes, among others, Thibaut Courtois and Kevin de Brauna.

Eden Hazard started and again disappointed - which may cause Roberto Martinez to recalculate regarding him.



The Belgians were superior in the game held in Kuwait, but did not look predatory enough in the front and in the first half they rarely got into situations, when the best chance Michy Batshuayi translates into a strong kick to the crossbar.

On the other side, Mustafa Mohamed took advantage of a mistake by Kevin de Brauna to score with a kick outside the box (33) and Trezaga doubled (46) shortly after the start of the second half.



After falling behind 2:0, Belgium increased the pressure, encountered a determined Egyptian defense and only succeeded in shrinking in the 77th minute: Yannick Carrasco's cross cut into the box, the Pharaohs' defense was late and Luis Opanda pushed their play from close range.



Belgium will play in Group V where they will meet Canada (11/23), Morocco (11/27) and Croatia (12/1).

Today there are also two friendly matches between national teams that will meet in Group 7 in the World Cup: Serbia and Cameroon.

The Serbs easily defeated Bahrain 1:5 while showing flashes of beautiful football.

The main news for Serbia was that Dusan Vlahovic played 45 minutes after an absence of about a month and looked good with a goal and two assists.



Dusan Tadic was the main man for Serbia with a pair (8, 50) and an assist for Vlahovic (51).

Filip Juricic (87) and Luka Jovic (89) completed the celebration.

Abdullah Youssef Hilal temporarily balanced with a penalty (15).



Cameroon said goodbye to Panama 1:1.

Erik Schoofo Moting continued his outstanding form of possession with a goal in the 48th minute, but Amir Moriyo equalized 7 minutes later.
