Los helvéticos se
adelantaron en Lovaina, pero un doblete del delantero del Crystal Palace
decididó para Bélgica
El plan B de la selección
de Bélgica, que resguardó a sus pilares principales como Kevin De Bruyne,
Romelu Lukaku o Thibaut Courtois, entre otros, encontró en el atacante del
Crystal Palace Michy Batshuayi como solución para la cita amistosa frente a Suiza,
que se adelantó en el marcador y que no aprovechó sus opciones. 2-0 para los
‘diablos rojos’ en Lovaina.
El conjunto de Robert
Martínez, que ni siquiera tuvo en el banquillo a sus mejores futbolistas, dio
minutos a los menos habituales. Le bastó a Bélgica para sacar adelante el
encuentro y seguir sin perder como local desde septiembre de 2016, cuando cayó
ante España por 0-2.
Tardó en coger el aire al
choque el cuadro belga, que pensó más en sus citas de laNations League que en
la visita de Suiza. Se juega la clasificación a semifinales el equipo de
Roberto Martínez, que lidera el Grupo 2 y que recibe a Inglaterra el domingo y
a Dinamarca el miércoles.
De hecho, antes del
cuarto de hora tomó ventaja el cuadro helvético, que ha perdido todos sus
partidos desde el confinamientos. Un error defensivo de Sebastiaan Bornauw, que
peinó hacia atrás un balón aéreo, fue aprovechado por Admir Mehmedi, que
interceptó el balón, se plantó ante
Mignolet y marcó.
No pudo igualar el equipo
local antes del descanso ante un rival que tiene pie y medio en la segunda
división de la Nations League y que recibe a España el sábado antes de jugar
con Ucrania en la última jornada.
Cuatro sustituciones
realizó Vladimir Petkovic que a los cinco minutos de la reanudación se topó con
el empate de Bélgica. Un mal despeje de Loris Benito fue aprovechado por Youri
Tielemans que envió a Batshuayi. El ex jugador del Valencia se deshizo de un
rival y batió a Yvon Mvogo.
Después, Mignolet salvó a
su equipo del segundo gol visitante y en el 70 llegó el del triunfo belga con
una jugada en la que intervinieron los tres atacantes que terminó con un pase
de Thomas Foket que culminó Batshuayi.
