Belgium has started its World Cup well on a win over Algeria (2-1). This success was celebrated as it should by supporters of the Red Devils Belgium. In Brussels, the party turned into tragedy.

Indeed, a supporter of Belgium died in the Belgian capital after a fall. Taken to hospital, the man died in the night, according to the Dernière Heure. It was a Moroccan, who resided in Anderlecht.

“The 41 year old man has perched on a statue located in front of the Bourse de Brussels and fell heavily after losing balance while waving a Belgian flag,” said a spokesman for the Prosecutor’s Office in Brussels, stating that he had not been pushed. Very seriously injured, the man whose identity was not disclosed died Wednesday morning at the hospital.

Long led to the score by Algeria, Belgium has finally took the upper hand of the meeting, thanks in particular to good coaching of Marc Wilmots. One can imagine that the party was beautiful in the streets of a divided country which finds a great opportunity to strengthen links.
