Tiktukno: summary of today's events in sports, 11.27 (Sport1)
House V reopened tonight (Sunday) after Belgium lost 2:0 to Morocco, who rose to first place at their own expense and moved closer to the round of 16.
The Moroccans were better throughout most of the game and despite a goal by Hakim Zayesh that was disallowed in extra time of the first half, they managed to conquer the legs of Abdelhamid Sabiri (73) with a free kick and a mistake by Thibaut Courtois, and Zakaria Abukhalal (92) who kicked the second one from close range on the way to the celebrations of the African team .
According to a report on the Belgian website "HLN", Thibaut Courtois was furious with his friends and did not hide it when he entered the dressing room at the end of the game.
The goalkeeper, who made a mistake in Morocco's first goal, was also the first to go off the pitch after the final whistle.
The defender Jan Vertonghen almost couldn't find the words in the interview after the game because of the shock: "I don't think we got any chances at all. In defense we were fine, we didn't give them too much, but in the end we conceded twice - goals we shouldn't have conceded. We already saved from the first free ball that went in and went in, but The second time it didn't happen anymore. I have so many things going through my head, not things I'm supposed to say live."
When the interviewers tried to make it difficult for the veteran stopper, he attacked: "Surely you will say that we do not attack well because we are old, right? There is always something to say. We have a lot of quality up front, but Morocco is also a quality team and today they were better. It is frustrating."
Belgium national team coach Roberto Martins admitted at the end, ahead of the next match against Croatia on Thursday where Belgium may have to win to secure their place in the eighth: "Morocco's first goal decided the match. We have been defending in the same way for six years and we did not concede this time from a stationary situation because The 11 that were on the grass, it had nothing to do with the team, but I will have to watch the event to understand what happened. We didn't manage to hurt Morocco, we didn't get to the dangerous areas and now we have to stay united and arrive stronger for the match against Croatia. We will arrive ready."
In England they once again saw Eden Hazard disappointing and called him "a complete player, since he left England in 2019 he has not been able to reproduce the same magical touch. He is a superstar and there is no doubt that he is one of the greatest players Belgium has ever known, but he is no longer fast and neither is his confidence Not the same. It's not surprising that he doesn't play for Real Madrid and also Martinez will have to make a difficult decision when it comes to the captain."

The outstanding player of the game was Hakim Zaish whose goal was disallowed, but he provided a great performance and scored the goal that sealed the result of the game with a wonderful individual performance.
As you may remember, the Chelsea midfielder was at odds with the previous national team coach and was not called up to the squad in previous qualifying campaigns and the African Championship, but he was called up to Qatar and has since looked great under Walid Raghraghi.
"The best player in the team - flourishes when given the chance," was written by the media in Africa.
Numbers:
* Belgium have scored one goal in two rounds, their fewest since the 1930 World Cup where they did not score at all after two games.
* It was only the third victory in Morocco's history at the World Cup and the first since they beat Scotland 0:3 in the 1998 tournament.
* Abdelhamid Sabiri's goal was Morocco's first ever free kick at the World Cup.
