Belgium starts as a favorite, more because of history than because of the game. And both the match and the result are proving it. The first half left Senegal overwhelming, with a constant trickle of chances. In the 25th minute, Diarra put the first on the scoreboard, after collecting a ball that bounced off the post after Sarr had finished it off. In the last minutes of the first half the Belgians regained some air and De Cuyper had two clear chances to tie the game. By character, aim and play, the Teranga Lions.
