Recap: Canada defeated by Belgium in group stage opener

Canadian soccer fans should be proud of the performance their men’s national team put on today even though they were unable to come away with a point.

Contrary to the scoreline, statistics show that Canada had most of the opportunities with 22 shots overall but only three finding the target.

A nervy moment occurred in the first for the Canadians as Alistair Johnston’s pass was given away to striker Michy Batshuayi, his shot was deflected by defender Steven Vitória and collected by ‘keeper Milan Borjan.
