Alisson did not fit a goal from the first group stage match, Brazil was presented as the favorite, as the king, leader of the polls and bets, challenging Belgium with the best lead of this world.
The first time we must say Belgium took good advantage of their opportunities, while Brazil had trying to reach the goal of Thibaut Courtois, there were many fouls missing part and part, for the pretense of dominating the ball.
In a series of attacks from Belgium, he manages to make his first goal, in a corner kick executed by Nacer Chadli, the Brazilian central trying to reject makes a goal against.
After quarter of an hour, Belgium controlled the game better, grew tactically and football, despite the Brazilian dominance. Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and Hazard were in charge of giving the South Americans a lot of headaches in offensive driving, while their goalkeeper Courtois stopped almost all the shots in great form that went towards his goal.
Thus, half an hour into the game, comes the second European goal in the boots of Kevin De Bruyne, culminating an excellent shot with the right from outside the area by low, next to the left post by Romelu's assistance Lukaku.
Before finishing the first half it is necessary to say that Belgium was closer to the third than the Amazonian discount.
In the second half Brazil turned against the arch of Belgium, created more than 7 or eight times, excelling the stretched of the Belgian goalkeeper at minute 73 avoiding the goal of Philippe Coutinho, but only Brazil could make a goal in the 75 minutes of Renato Augusto with a header from the penalty spot Belgian before a magnificent assistance of Coutinho.
After the disengagement, the siege of the five-time world champion continued for the rest of the engagement and the roles of both are clearly defined.
Brazil completely turned to attack, while the Belgians behind the ball line defending and playing against Hazar and Lacucu were a constant come and go, which kept the Brazilian team in check in the contras, but always controlled by the Brazilian defense .
Two decisive moves that prevented the Brazilian draw came in the minutes when, in a collective move, Neymar managed to get to the edge of the rival area and make a great assist to Philippe Coutinho to finish at his pleasure but his shot was not successful.
And the other was the minute 94 when Thibaut Courtois starred in the play of the game, surely the most valuable player, a shot to stretch fully and take a shot off Douglas Costa with the fingers of the hand changed, simply spectacular.
Belgium endured all the attacks, metaphorically he poured ice water into the Brazilian heat, he has paid the Brazilian samba and has achieved his place in the semifinals, in this well fought match.
Just as Edinson Caviani needed to Uruguay from the previous match and was decisive so that Uruguay did not pass against France, the Brazilian coach Adenor Leonardo Bacchi "Tite" and Brazil needed the containment of his best player from the middle Casemiro, sanctioned by double yellow card, which prevented the control of that area of the field.
With the culmination of this quarter-day today, South America is left without selections for semifinals, they will be between European teams, fifth time that occurs in these instances, the other occasions were: Germany 2006, Spain 82, Ingalterra 66 and Italy 34 .
In this way Belgium will face France at the Krestovski stadium next Tuesday, July 10.
