Defender of the Belgian national team Ian Vertonghen noted that he was lucky to score a goal against Japan in the 1/8 finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The Belgians recouped after two goals conceded and managed to win the final victory, avoiding over-time (3: 2).
"The responsibility for the first goal I missed is on me. As a result, we lost focus and missed the second goal, after which I already saw us on the plane on the way home, "- confessed Vertonghen.
"Fortunately, I was lucky to score a goal. I was just trying to throw the ball into the center of the penalty, but he was spinning so much that he was in the net ".
