The entire football world is floating in the frenzy of the World Cup in Russia. Every match is a hard-fought battle. The quarter final round of the season has already started. The teams are trying their best in this battle of the last eight. As a result, Brazil, one of the favorites of the current season, and Belgium, who are in great form, met at the Kazan Arena last night. Lukaku beat Brazil 2-1 in that exciting match. However, Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was irresistible in this match.
This Belgian professional footballer was born on May 1, 1992 in Brie, Belgium. He plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Chelsea and the Belgium national team. Courtois entered football life at a very young age. He played an important role in winning the Belgian Pro League at the age of 18. In July 2011, he joined Chelsea for £8 million. He was then immediately loaned to Atletico Madrid. The goalkeeper won the Europa League in 2012, the Copa del Rey in 2013 and the La Liga title in 2014 in three seasons there.
Courtois also won the Ricardo Zamora trophy for the best goalkeeper in La Liga. Courtois then returned to Chelsea in July 2014 and won the League Cup and Premier League title in his first season.
Courtois made his international debut at the 2011 Olympics, becoming the youngest goalkeeper to represent Belgium. He has earned over 50 caps and appeared at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2013.
This goalkeeper is spreading light in the World Cup in Russia. Courtois repeatedly frustrated Brazil by blocking all their great shots in yesterday's match. Brazil got a chance in the 8th minute, but Thiaga Silva could not convert it into a goal. After that, Belgium went ahead against the flow of the game in the 13th minute if they continued to attack. Fernandinho's own goal from a Kevin De Bruyne cross from the corner gave Roberto Martinez's side the lead. Later, the group started attacking the enemy camp one after another. But in the meantime, Teeter's team has to pay the price by conceding another goal.
In the 31st minute, De Bruyne scored after Lukaku's pass on the counterattack. The scoreline is Belgium 2-0 Brazil. After that, Brazil became desperate. Neymar-Marcello continued to attack one after the other. However, Kurtoa resisted their attacks. Later in the 76th minute, Augusto Renotto reduced the gap with a great header. This indicates that Brazil is back in the fight. However, Belgian goalkeeper Courtois stood in the way.
