Hockey World Cup 2018, Belgium vs Canada: 3 standout players from the match

#2 Felix Denayer (Belgium)

Denayer did well to receive a rocket from Arthur van Doren and positioned himself to calmly deposit the ball over Canadian keeper Kindler's reach

The youngster opened the scoring for the Red Lions as early as in the third minute with a clinical deflection from the middle of the scoring area which gave the Belgians some early confidence in the competition.

Unmarked at the middle, Denayer did well to receive a rocket from Arthur van Doren and positioned himself to calmly deposit the ball over Canadian keeper Kindler's reach.

For a man who is not known to make a big presence in the scoring area, Denayer found himself in the perfect position as he kicked off Belgium's campaign to a bright start.
