Belgium beat Brazil 2-1 at the Kazan Arena on Friday evening to book their place in the semi-finals of the World Cup for just the second time in their history.
A Fernandinho own goal gave the Red Devils an early lead, which they added to through an arrowed drive from a more advanced Kevin De Bruyne.
The Selecao did pull one back via substitute Renato Augusto, but it was not enough as they were sent crashing out.

Tite: "I've already talked about Neymar and I've been very specific about what happened. You should look at the videos. All you have to do is look at the images. What makes me happy is to have him playing at his best. It's not just with the ball, it's not just dribbling. There are actions, there are transitions, defensive transitions and if you look, you see how much he has contributed."
Roberto Martinez: "The two sides are very similar in terms of qualities. The difference is we haven't won a World Cup - simple as that. There is something special in this squad, no doubt about it. The signs are positive and of a real desire to be on the football pitch. We can't wait. I feel we are as ready as we can be. Over the last two years we have been working towards this moment."
