Two Tottenham centre-backs starred in Belgium’s win
Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld featured as Belgium beat Costa Rica in their final World Cup warm-up.
Alderweireld started in defence alongside Spurs teammate Jan Vertonghen and helped the Red Devils to a 4-1 win.
An early defensive mix up ruined their chances of a clean sheet but a strong attacking display in the second half helped them ease to a victory.
Alderweireld is forgetting about speculation over his own future and focusing on his task with Belgium.
He sent a message out on Twitter after the game describing the match as ‘perfect’.
Alderweireld’s teammate Jan Vertonghen nearly managed to get on the scoresheet in the win, having a rare goal disallowed.
Belgium open their World Cup schedule against Panama, before facing Tunisia and then England in the final group match where both teams hope to be battling to win the group.
