Belgium, third in Russia four years ago, could have qualified for the Last 16 with a victory, but instead produced another insipid display after their fortunate opening win over Canada. Substitute Sabiri was the hero thanks to a 73rd-minute free-kick which Thibaut Courtois allowed to bounce in at his near post, before Aboukhlal grabbed a second in stoppage time. Morocco replace Belgium at the top of Goup F.
