Jan Vertonghen gives Belgium the lead

Jan Vertonghen is one of the few Belgian starters from round one that hasn’t been rested for their match against South Korea, so naturally he’s scored the goal that should seal the Red Devils’ 100 percent record in Group H:

Kim Seung-Gyu, who isn't South Korea's regular keeper, couldn't handle a stinging drive from Divock Origi, spilling to Vertonghen, and the Tottenham Hotspurs defender, perhaps in an offside position, slotted past the prone goalkeeper to make it 1-0 Belgium. That should guarantee top spot in the group -- and a Round of 16 matchup against the United States.
