A goal from Fernandinho's side, which tried to avoid a corner at the start of the first session, sent Brazilians into the field and millions of kilometers away, while Kevin De Bruyne enjoyed finishing a thunderous counterattack. orchestrated by Romelu Lukaku inside the first session, twisted the knife in.
On the way to an airplane, Thiago Silva's shot in a corner of Neymar, which collapsed against the amount, gave alarming signs to the boys of Titus. Another delivery of Willian from a corner missed all the Belgian defense and reached Paulinho who was too surprised to react.
All of this happened within 10 minutes of the start before Nacer Chadli's corner came in by chance. The match turned on his head as the suit started for the equalizer. Panic s' was installed while the famous Brazilian defense was again on the bench after Maroanne Fellaini has released a corner of Neymar for Lukaku. Like a typical center forward, a race that will regain its place among South Americans, the Belgian has set fire to the powders with Silva and Joao Miranda on special duty.
After surpassing Paulinho, Lukaku easily found De Bruyne wide on the right, with Thomas Meunier in the company of Marcelo. The Manchester City midfielder has all the time in the world to choose his place to the right of Allison Becker. Brazil was looking for answers.
Titus had to wonder if it was a mistake to replace Marcelo with an injury to replace Luis Felipe?
An ineffective Willian was retired and Brazil went with three strikers in the second session and the doors in Vincent Kompany's backline began to slowly open.
But the Belgian keeper Thibaut Courtois had other ideas. Plunging anyway, he denied any Brazilian attempt. The Belgians defended themselves with nine men, leaving Lukaku in the Brazilian half.
It is the European organization and the counter-offensive that Brazil is struggling to live since the sunny days of Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho.
Tite led Douglas Costa to provide width and rhythm on the right flank and Firmino to add muscle to break the strong central defense of Kompany, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen. Neymar was not at his best in the tournament and his uplifting performance against Mexico proved to be a false dawn.
Repeated attacks on the left, linking Marcelo and Coutinho, were repelled by Meunier who won a number of battles with Neymar.
With Paulinho showing signs of fatigue, Tite sent Renato Agusto to support Fernandinho who was making a nightmarish outing.
Assumed to be a good choice for Casemiro who was suspended, the second choice returned to second place in the air and land battles against Lukaku and Hazard.
After only four minutes of play, Agusto gave Brazil a header with a header after Coutinho's chip escaped a retired Belgian defense.
A few minutes later, he could have brought Brazil back into the game, but he falsified his shot from the edge of the box. Coutinho was narrowly missed when Neymar, in one of his few successful boxing penetrations, put the Barcelona striker 10 yards from goal. Instead of blowing it into the net, Coutinho went to get the top corner and gave him the speed of escape. If there was no pressure, he would have been right.
Roberto Martinez took the lead with the team that had brought Belgium back from hell against Japan, starting this time with Fellaini and Chadli, now still his attacking trio in place. Asking Lukaku to dig the space between Miranda and still riding Marcelo, De Bruyne enjoyed a free reign. The balance that Titus preached every day since taking office in 2016 has been ruffled.
The elected one who could have changed all of Martinez's calculations had a day off. In the second minute of injury time, Courtois ousted his measured attempt. What a day off it turned out to be for Neymar Junior!
After Germany and Argentina, Brazil drowned in the quagmire of Kazan.
