More than a dozen people detained in Belgium during riots over defeat by Morocco

Riots broke out in Brussels after Belgium's 2022 FIFA World Cup loss to Morocco (0-2), resulting in more than a dozen people being arrested by police.

The Belgian broadcaster RTBF informs that frustrated fans set fire to garbage bins, damaged vehicles and city equipment. The media are reporting casualties. Police used water cannons and tear gas to restore order.

"There were about ten administrative arrests and one court arrest," says the RTBF website.

Team Belgium defeated the Canadians (1-0) in their first match at the 2022 World Cup, but after losing to the Moroccans (0-2) are in third place in Group F with three points. The Belgians' only goal was scored by striker Michy Batshuayi.
