Belgium take World Cup prize with win in Prague

First Published: Nov 14, 2001

The Czech Republic lost their cool to crash out of the World Cup with Belgium taking full advantage.

The vistors played well in Prague but the game was marred by two red card cards for the Czechs as referee Anders Frisk struggled to stay in control.

The Belgians came to defend their 1-0 lead from the first leg and it paid off as the Czechs were frustrated.

They were distraught when veteran forward Marc Wilmots scored the penalty kick winner in the 85th minute after Gert Verheyen was fouled in the penalty area.

The Czechs were furious with Pavel Nedved and Milan Baros sent off for separate fouls in the 88th minute.
