The Czechs faced one of the best goalies in the world. Courtois toyed with the Czech forwards with saves and a jammer

How does it feel to score a goal against the best goalkeeper in the world? The Czechs didn’t find out, they couldn’t get a shot past Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian goalkeeper is one of the best goalkeepers and he kept the Czech national team at bay.

Of course, Belgium had the upper hand against Jaroslav Šilhavy’s selection, they were definitely the better team. But with a bit of luck the match could have been different. If Matěj Vydra had converted a chance in the second half when he found himself alone in front of Courtois.

The Burnley striker could have reduced it to 1:2, but the “octopus” in the Belgium goal stretched to the maximum and defused the shot. But Real Madrid goalkeeper Matej Vydra enjoyed his second goal of the night, showing great confidence in the first half.

After a slow back pass from Alderweireld, Courtois had to work hard to burn the ball in front of the onrushing Vydra, but the 29-year-old goalkeeper didn’t panic and stuck the ball beautifully behind his heel, allowing Vydra to run through.

For the third time, the White Ballet envoy shone in the second half. Adam Hložek got to the ball in the Red Devils’ big whitewash and headed under the crossbar with his left foot. Courtois, however, reached out and pulled his shot out for a corner.

When you’re facing one of the best goalkeepers in the world, you need to add something extra to overcome him. But the Belgian, who ousted Chelsea’s Petr Cech, showed his extravagance on several occasions.
