2) Gabor Kiraly, a Hungarian stalwart at the age of 40

It’s not often that a 40-year-old gets the plaudits for displaying athleticism on the field. But for Hungarian goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly, it was a game which – if it indeed is his last one for Hungary – will go down as one of his most memorable in an illustrious career and the perfect way to bow out of the international stage.
He was impenetrable in the first half, diving left and right to deal with the wave of shots being fired by the Belgian attack. His magnificent one-handed save to tip a delightful Kevin De Bruyne free-kick onto the crossbar was the highlight of the game.
The final score by no means reflects Kiraly’s actual display in between the sticks. With 10 saves in total, he may bow out of international football a distinguished Hungarian hero.
