Belgium

In the 70th minute of the 2018 World Cup third-place playoff, Toby Alderweireld makes a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Eric Dier a sure equalizer. After Dier chips the ball over Courtois, it seems destined to roll into the net—but Alderweireld sprints back and clears it off the line with perfect timing. His awareness, positioning, and defensive instinct preserve Belgium’s lead, helping secure a 2-0 win and their best-ever World Cup finish.
