Canada are in the World Cup for only the second time.
Belgium were forced to eke out a 1-nil win over an impressive Canada in their opening Group F game at the World Cup.
Michy Batshuayi scored the only goal of the game a minute before half-time in Al-Rayyan.
Canada also saw an early penalty from Alphonso Davies saved.
Kevin de Bruyne was named man of the match, but he didn't feel he deserved it.
"I don't know why I got the trophy," he said.
"it's maybe because of the name. I just don't think we played well enough as a time, especially in the first-half.
Starting off with 3️⃣ points! Happy with the clean sheet and assist. On to Sunday 🇧🇪 #FIFAWorldCup #DEVILTIME pic.twitter.com/lxVFKVTc4N

"I don't think we found any solutions, and we started really badly and the momentum was with Canada.
"We didn't find a way to break through that press but we found a way to win, and that was it."
Group G swings into life this morning with the meeting of Switzerland and Cameroon - kick-off in Al-Wakrah is at 10am.
The other game in the group involves one of the tournament favourites, with Brazil facing Serbia in Lusail from 7pm.
In Group H Heung-Min Son will wear a protective mask after suffering a fractured cheekbone, with South Korea up against Uruguay from 1 o'clock.
And having been released by Manchester United in controversial circumstances this week, Cristiano Ronaldo will lead out Portugal for their game with Ghana.
That match kicks off at 4.
