Belgium knocks Brazil out of 2018 FIFA #WorldCup
Belgium
produced a brilliant performance to knock five-time winners Brazil out
of the World Cup and reach the semi-finals for the first time since
1986.
Roberto Martinez's side turned on the style in Kazan to clock up
their fifth straight win of the tournament and ensure the semi-finals
will be contested by four European sides for the first time.
Before today's game, Brazil had conceded just one goal in their past
four games in Russia but were behind early when Nacer Chadli's corner
struck Fernandinho's arm and flew into the net, the 10th own goal of
this World Cup.
In an entertaining and open game, Brazil hit the post when the match
was goalless - Thiago Silva missing in front of a gaping net after
Neymar's corner - before substitute Renato Augusto gave Brazil hope with
a headed goal after Philippe Coutinho's delicious pass.
However, the South Americans became the latest heavyweight to depart
the competition after holders Germany and other past winners Argentina,
Spain and Uruguay.
