Belgium vs. Japan - Football Match Report - July 2, 2018 - ESPN

Nacer Chadli scored deep into second-half stoppage time to complete Belgium's 3-2 comeback win against Belgium in the World Cup round of 16 on Monday.

The win puts Belgium into the quarterfinals, setting up a mouth-watering clash with Brazil in the last-eight.

Having rested most of their best players for the 1-0 win over England in their final group game on Thursday, Belgium's first-choice team, including Vincent Kompany back from injury in the centre of defence, sent too many passes astray in the opening 45 minutes.

Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku failed to react in time when Kompany flicked the ball towards him on the half-hour.
