Belgium 3-2 Brazil


Belgium got off to a great start today, defeating Brazil with a last-minute penalty after Ale Z's spectacular handball to block a certain goal.
Antony had almost opened the scoring in the very first minute with a beautiful shot from 25 meters that struck the outside of the post. Julian had an early chance to but he didn't catch it well with his left foot and the ball spun wide.
Belgium did take the lead though when Alex fed the ball to Julian and he passed to Antony who scored.
Brazil came right back at them though and Manfredi first set up Ottaviano for an equaliser and then put Brail ahead. Alex struck the crossbar with a ferocious shot and then he played in Anthony for the equaliser.
Manfredi then forced Louis into an excellent save down low to his right and Federico made a good save at the other end from Julian. The match looked to be cruising towards a draw but Belgium's final flourish drew Federico out of position and forced the penalty that was cooly converted by Daniel.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Alex 4, Manfredi 3, Antony 3, Ale Z 3, Michele 3, Riccardo 2, Louis 1, Ottaviano 1, Daniel 1
