GOAL! BELGIUM 0-2 JAPAN (Inui 52)
Oh my lord! Belgium are completely stunned, and this is a brilliant strike from Inui.
Make no mistake, Belgium need to pressure Kagawa as he takes the ball down from the air and flicks it back for Inui.
He has so much time to line up an effort from 25 yards, but he finds the far right corner with a brilliant right-footed strike. What a goal!!!
GOAL! BELGIUM 0-1 JAPAN (Haraguchi 48)
Wow. This wasn’t in the script! Belgium try far too much up the other end again and Japan can break.
Inui does well to roll his man and find Shibasaki then plays Haraguchi on the right in space, and Vertonghen takes an age to get over.
Haraguchi composes himself and finds the bottom left corner brilliantly!
Japan have never reached the quarter-final of international football’s elite tournament, while expectation of Roberto Martinez’s Belgium has gone through the roof after three group stage wins.

GOAL! BELGIUM 3-2 JAPAN (Chadli 90+4)
WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW.
UNBELIEVABLE FINISH TO THIS GAME!
Courtois collects the corner, and forms a blistering counter-attack. Japan, granted, have far too many men forward.
Courtois rolls it to De Bruyne, who runs 50 yards and feeds Meunier, and Lukaku’s dummy finds Chadli at the back post to turn into the empty net!!
