But he instead struck the post and the ball rebounded off the woodwork and smashed him in the head.
Video of the hilarious incident went viral – and the Belgium team cannot stop watching it.
Januzaj, 23, laughed: “I think he wanted to score also. He hit the post but then he scored a header so it was nice!
“It is a video that everybody has seen.
“And we have been looking at the video all the time because it is so funny.”
