Belgium playmaker Kevin De Bruyne admitted that it would be difficult for his team to replicate the style of football that his Manchester City side are capable of at the World Cup.

Roberto Martinez's side struggled for fluency at times against Canada, despite being the favourites, and De Bruyne insisted that Belgium would not be able to reproduce the aesthetic football regularly on show at City.

The Maple Leafs were unfortunate not to come away with something from the clash on Wednesday, after star man Alphonso Davies missed a first-half penalty and some wayward finishing denied them a point.
