Schmeichel: Lammens' Error Costs Belgium

Belgium's dream of World Cup glory was dashed when Senne Lammens, who replaced the injured Thibaut Courtois, made a critical error in the 88th minute. The young keeper failed to properly handle a long-distance shot from Pau Cubarsí, allowing Mikel Merino to score the decisive goal. milkshakeslot.lat

United legend Peter Schmeichel called Lammens "unlucky" for the mistake but also credited Spain's aggressive pressing style. "He's so unlucky today," Schmeichel said. "I feel so sorry for him because, of course, that shot from Cubarsí, he has to hold on to." Spain advances to face France in the semifinal on July 14 in a rematch of last year's Euro semifinals.
