Belgium ended Brazil’s dream of a sixth World Cup title when they beat the South Americans 2-1 in a dramatic, enthralling end-to-end quarter-final on Friday to earn a semi-final tie against France. Brazil dominated the opening stages, with Thiago Silva hitting the post, but went behind when midfielder Fernandinho put the ball into his own net from a corner in the 13th minute. Kevin De Bruyne scored the second and Brazil were trailing 2-0 at half-time. Renato Augusto scored in the second half as Brazil hounded Belgium. But that turned out to be the only goal of the match for them and it ended 2-1 in favour of Belgium.
