Marc Wilmots Hails Belgium’s Perseverance "This was a difficult game against a team that always moves backwards," he said, according to Sky Sports. "We made a very small mistake, but that is punished at a World Cup. You then have to show patience and we did. During the second half, we have shown our mental strength with this young group. The squad has made all the difference." Belgium next face a Russian team that drew against South Korea 1-1 in their Group H showdown, a match that could see them through to the knockout stages.
"What is important now is three points. First we have to recover and then put the focus on the next game against Russia. We will be looking to continue to build on this momentum."
