    • Man of the match - Eden Hazard

    Kevin De Bruyne's stunning strike booked Belgium's place in the World Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 win over Brazil.

    A first-half double, courtesy of a Fernandinho own-goal (13) and a rasping De Bruyne (31) finish, gave Belgium a big enough cushion in order to repel a Brazilian onslaught in the second period.

    Renato Augusto (76) set up a grandstand finish but Belgium, spearheaded by Eden Hazard and a fantastic performance by Thibaut Courtois, held on to make the last four, which means a European team will be winning this year's tournament.

    Roberto Martinez had been criticised for deploying De Bruyne too deep in previous encounters, but pushed him higher up the pitch against Brazil. His positioning just behind Hazard and Romelu Lukaku - who ran riot in the opening stages - was the catalyst for Belgium's fast start.

    However, the story of the match could have been different had Thiago Silva not bundled an effort against the post on nine minutes and Paulinho not fired wide from Willian's corner two minutes later.

    This stage was made for Hazard, who was at the heart of all of Belgium's forays into Brazilian territory. His close control dazzled and the way he glided past players on the counter attack was a joy to behold. Martinez's decision to play him off the left-wing was a tactical masterstroke.
