Facing off against the debutants Panama, Belgium could not get off to a flying start as they had hoped and saw the scoreline remaining 0-0 at the half time. The side which has been labelled as the “dark horses” in this year’s World Cup, knew they had to kick off the second half of the match on the right note. On came Napoli’s famed striker Dries Mertens, who stunned the world with a tremendous loop volley that went straight on the bottom-left corner, leaving no chance for Panama goalkeeper Jaime Penedo to save. The angle from which the shot was taken was simply outstanding, as the 31-year old forward gave Belgium 1-0.
