4) Michy Batshuayi does the super-sub job perfectly
Despite Belgium’s innumerable attempts at goal, their lack of finishing touch was frustrating for manager Marc Wilmots, who was wary of Hungary’s threat on the break. The failure to find that elusive second goal to give them some breathing space meant that Wilmots had to make an attacking switch.
He hauled off Romelu Lukaku – who missed a couple of great opportunities in the first half – and replaced him with young Marseille forward Michy Batshuayi. The move took barely seconds to work, as a low Eden Hazard cross was whipped across the defence and tapped in by Batshuayi to give Belgium that two-goal cushion. Game over.
