FIFA World Cup 2022: After Argentina, Germany, the Belgian team faced vicissitudes during the FIFA World Cup. Morocco beat Belgium 2-0 in Group F. With this defeat, Kevin De Bruyne and Belgium, who reached the semi-finals in 2018, are in danger of being eliminated in the group stage. This will probably be the last World Cup for many players of the team of aging stars who have not won any major title.
Moroccan substitute Abdelhamid Sabiri gave his team the lead in the 73rd minute with a free kick from the left that went under the body of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The second goal for the team was scored by Zakaria Abokhlal in stoppage time on Hakim Ziyech's pass, which hit the top of the net. Belgium, the world's second-ranked team after Brazil, had won the last seven group matches in the World Cup before this upset.

This is Morocco's first and third overall win in the World Cup since 1998. Had Belgium defeated Morocco, it would have become the second team to qualify for the knockout stage along with defending champions France. Belgium will now take on 2018 finalists Croatia in their all-important final group match, while Morocco will face Canada.
Keisher Fuller's 81st-minute goal helped Costa Rica beat Japan 1-0 in their FIFA World Cup match here on Sunday, giving both teams three points from two matches in Group E. . In the last match, Japan had upset Germany by defeating them. Fuller took advantage of a defensive error and fired a shot into the net from 18 metres, which touched the top of Japan goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda's fingers.

The match at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium was dull for the most part, especially in the first half which saw not a single shot on goal. In comparison, the second half was slightly better, with Japan continuing to dominate until Costa Rica took the lead. Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas saved several quick shots to keep the lead.
