By the numbers: Best stats as Belgium's 3-goal fightback floors bold Japan

The knives were out for Roberto Martinez when his Belgium side was on the verge of a humiliating elimination to Akira Nishino's adventurous Japan on Monday.

Somewhat characteristically for Martinez's management, Belgium continued to look vulnerable at the back as it pushed for an incredible rally after going two goals down. It worked, with Nacer Chadli tapping in a winner and completely vanquishing Japan's two-goal advantage at the death.

Here are the best statistics from Belgium's remarkable 3-2 comeback win in Rostov-on-Don:

6: Japan was dumped from the tournament after scoring the most goals at a World Cup in the national team's history.

8: Unique goalscorers for Belgium at this World Cup - more than any other team.

9: There have been nine winners scored in the 90th minute or later at the 2018 World Cup. There were 10 in the previous five World Cups combined.

10: Clearances made by Maya Yoshida in the first half. The other 10 Japanese players collectively managed the same number in the opening stanza, while Belgium mustered five.

12: Goals for Belgium at this World Cup. It levels a national team record set in 1986.

35: Number of shots fired by Belgium and Japan - the most in a round of 16 match so far.

90+4': Minutes on the clock when Chadli tapped home Belgium's winner. Just 10 seconds elapsed from when Thibaut Courtois rolled the ball out to when the West Bromwich Albion man scored.

99: Game-high number of touches made by Vincent Kompany, who was chosen to start ahead of Dedryck Boyata.

1970: The last time a team came from two goals down to win a World Cup knockout match was 48 years ago, when West Germany beat England in Leon, Mexico.
