Kazan, July 6: Good evening or whatever it is in your time zone from MyKhel. Here we are staring our live coverage of the quarterfinal between Brazil and Belgium. The winner will face France in the semifinals.
ALL OVER. Belgium won 2-1 and they will France in semis on Tuesday.
Finally Brazil have managed to strike one back through Augusto 2-1. But they don't have too much time.
There is no room for Brazil through the Belgian defence. It's like walking through an incredibly narrow alley
The night of frustration continues for Brazil. All Firmino had to put his leg to Marcelo cross but he misses it. And then Courtois denies Jesus.
Off we go again for the second half
BRAZIL have not managed to comeback after going 0-2 down at a World Cup. The last time they did it was against Sweden and winning 4-2 in 1938. Some record that is
HALF-TIME: BELGIUM 2 VS BRAZIL 0 (Fernandinho (OG) and Kevin de Bruyne are scorers for Belgium.
Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is having a whale/shark/mammoth of a night here in Kazan
2-0 up Belgium are. Kevin de Bruyne fed by Lukaku hammered one drive past Alisson. Stunning.
Neymar took a few seconds out for medical attention as Brazil continue to search for an equaliser.
FYI: The name of Brazil coach TITE is not read as it is written. The pronunciation is CHEECHEE
Belgium are 1-0 up thanks to Fernandinho's own goal. Brazil made a quick counter immediately but Neymar was met with some 33 Belgian defenders
A fast paced start for the game. Brazil's Thiago Silva was denied by the post while Paulinho made a weak shot with only Courtious in front of him.
Neymar was brought down by Felliani and trollers are working overtime too
These kids are training to be the next Neymar...
