The second quarter-final match between Brazil and Belgium saw The Red Devils scrape past Seleção as they pulled off a sensational giant-killing. With only 13 minutes on the clock, Belgium opened the scoring courtesy of a howler from Fernandinho that resulted in an own goal. Kevin De Bruyne then doubled the lead with an absolute belter of a strike from several yards outside the penalty area on the half-hour mark. In reply, Renato Augusto scored Brazil’s opener in the 76th minute to help Seleção stay in contention. Nevertheless, it went in vain as Belgium edged past Brazil with a marginal scoreline of 2-1.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the cliffhanger.

I was alive when Marouane Fellaini bossed the midfield against Brazil, in a World Cup quarter final. We witnessed that.
