#3 Vincent Vanasch stands solid as a rock
Apart from the penalty corner specialists of Belgium, and the attacking forwards, if there was one person who deserves an applause for helping Belgium sail through the crossovers, it was once again the goalkeeper: Vincent Vanasch.

Having had a wobbly opening quarter against South Africa, Vincent Vanasch was far from it when he played against Pakistan.
Not only did he saved crucial penalty corners from Pakistan, but he also stood solid as a rock even against their circle penetrations. For the Pakistani goal shots, the less said the better.
To give one an idea, Pakistan made 16 circle entries throughout the match, of which more than 11 were made in the second and third quarter.
However, if none of them found the goalpost, it is solely due to the Belgian defence, led primarily by the goalkeeper Vincent Vanasch.
As Belgium faces Germany in the quarterfinals, the Red Lions will be heavily reliant on the charisma of their goalkeeper, who has more than once taken them out of trouble.
