Red Fury
Without fear of anything, l & rsquo; Belgian national team dominated the first minutes, and had the first opportunity, in a furious counter-attack, to escape Eden Hazard. to divert do.
It was the answer to a ball that a few minutes before Thiago Silva crashed horizontally after a corner, but that did not end up worrying the "devils".

Brazil, disoriented, however managed to put the 2-1 on a Renato Augusto's head to 76 to pbad Coutinho, three minutes after his entry by Paulinho, another low level.
Belgium did not break with the purpose, endured the rain and Brazil gave himself completely to Neymar to rub the lamp and solved the problem. But the "10" could not repeat the task against Mexico and ended up cooking with the Seleçao in the bonfires of the "devil".
