Belgium shocks Germany

Share

European Junior Champions Belgium proved why they are the team to look for in Delhi, where the 11th edition of the Junior World Cup is going on.

Playing on the same pitch where earlier Korea steamrolled Canada for a fluent 7-4 win, Belgium took lead five minutes before the half time through Maxime Capelle and ten minutes after the lemon time, he again added one to send shivers down the spine of the five-time Champions Germany.




It was a day of Belgium goalie Arnaud Flamand, who stood like a rock of Gibraltor to deny any leeway for the reputed rival

Undoubtedly he deserved the Man of the Match award, and the cash of INR 12,000 that went with it.

When Christoph Ruhr struck through a penalty corner in the 62nd minute, and then came up with a couple of good moves, Flamand was there to take care of their citadel.

Even as the Germans pressed for a deadly push in the dying minutes, Belgium seized a loose ball to put it in the net.

Alexsandre van Linthoud was the happy scorer.
