Marouane Fellaini Header Sees Belgium Past Czech Republic in Friendly

A Marouane Fellaini header saw Belgium to a 2-1 friendly win over the Czech Republic on Monday at Heysel Stadium in Brussels.

Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi finished off a slick move to give Belgium the lead, but the Czech Republic were level just four minutes later, as Michal Krmencik capitalised on an error from Kevin De Bruyne to score.

Belgium stepped it up after half-time, and the Manchester United man was on hand in the 52nd minute to nod home a corner. The visitors, having struck the post in the first period, rattled the woodwork again through Tomas Soucek in search of an equaliser.
