Belgium are through to a quarter-final against Argentina after yet another brilliant game at this World Cup.
The teams could not be separated in normal time, and nor could they score most thanks to an inspired performance from Tim Howard, but in the extra 30 minutes the game exploded.
Kevin De Bruyne scored just a couple of minutes into the extra period and when substitute Romelu Lukaku doubled Belgium's advantage it looked all over.
But then Julian Green scored one of the goals of the tournament to set up a pulsating final 13 minutes but there were no further goals.
Who was the man of the match in Salvador? Could anyone better Tim Howard?
