Courtois and two goals that he saw pass through his hands to the disgrace of Belgium

It is the life of goalkeepers and Thibaut Courtois he knows him very well. The Belgian goalkeeper was the protagonist in Belgium vs. Morocco of Qatar 2022 since the defeat was due to a goal from a free kick that slipped through the near post.

Courtois was the figure in Belgium’s win over Canada, saving a penalty that would have put the Americans ahead. Then the Belgians managed to tilt the result in their favor.

However, this Sunday Thibaut Courtois was the villain of the scene. Sabiri’s goal was via a free kick that slipped past the near post of the Real Madrid goalkeeper. The second goal also went through his post, but it was a great goal from Aboukhlal.

He had already suffered it at the end of the first half. A Ziyech free kick slipped out of his hands, but VAR saved it as he charged offside from Saiss, who interfered with the play.

poor performance

According to the SofaScore portal, Courtois was the worst performing Belgian with a score of 5.6. Although he had two saves -one on goal- he is considered ‘guilty’ in Morocco’s first goal.

Against Canada he was the hero (8.2 performance) with three saves and now the lowest level in a game that complicates Belgium, since on the last date of group F they must beat Croatia to advance to the round of 16.
