It was a disastrous outing for Real Madrid duo Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois, as the Belgians were beaten 2-0 by Morocco on Sunday evening.

Belgium performed badly in that game and deserved to lose.

However, while Moroccan immigrants celebrated in Belgium, the Belgian supporters took to riots after the defeat.

Rioters started fires and pelted cars with bricks in Brussels following Belgium’s shock 2-0 loss to Morocco at the World Cup.

Dozens of fans also smashed shop windows, threw fireworks and torched vehicles.

Similar demonstrations took place in the port city of Antwerp tonight, which also caused traffic to pile up.

Before the end of the game, ‘dozens of people, including some wearing hoodies, sought confrontation with the police, which compromised public safety’, Brussels police said in a statement.

Around a hundred police officers were mobilised while residents were warned to avoid certain areas of the city centre. Metro stations were closed and streets sealed off to limit the spread of the violence.
