#4 Belgium punishing on the counter-attack once again
Trending
They did it twice in the victory against the Irish. They managed to do it to perfection once again to win it against the Swedish – although this did come later than expected. The Belgian team’s ability to punish teams on the break has helped them make it out of a reasonably tough group.
A Swedish corner was cleared to safety by the Belgian defence and the resulting break was led by Eden Hazard, who was haring towards the byline. His floated cross was controlled by Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan, who unleashed a powerful strike into the far corner past the hapless goalkeeper.
It serves Marc Wilmots’ side very well indeed if they can continue to catch teams on the counter-attack and finish off those moves.
