Watch: Lukaku, De Bruyne combine for another brilliant counter-attack
Belgium is unstoppable on the counter-attack.
As the Red Devils proved with their stunning last-second winner against Japan in the round of 16, if you give them space on the break, you're asking for trouble. Brazil didn't get the memo, apparently.
Kevin De Bruyne gave Belgium a 2-0 lead in Friday's quarter-final clash against Brazil, finishing off another blistering move that saw Romelu Lukaku do most of the heavy lifting before the ginger superstar unleashed a rocket into the bottom corner.
