</form> Belgium delivered one of the finest World Cup comebacks to break Japanese hearts in the last 16 of the World Cup

Not since West Germany defeated England 3-2 in the 1970 finals in Mexico had a side come back from two goals down in a knockout tie

But Roberto Martinez's men did just that in Rostov-on-Don, with Nacer Chadli scoring a 94th minute winner after a stunning counter attack to ensure the Red Devils, somewhat miraculously, reached the quarter-finals

Goals from Genki Haraguchi and Takashi Inui had put Japan 2-0 up early in the second half and left Belgium on the brink

Jan Vertonghen's deflected cross gave them hope before substitute Marouane Fellaini headed in to level the scores

With the tie heading for extra time, Belgium delivered a clinical counter as Romelu Lukaku dummied Thomas Meunier's cross for Chadli to slide in

They will now face Brazil in the last eight on Friday. Read More World Cup 2018 second round matches 1

Martinez must make De Bruyne decision Kevin de Bruyne is a fabulous footballer, capable of playing in a variety of roles

Unfortunately for him, that means having to play in a deep position for this Belgium side when his talents would surely be better served playing higher up the field

The Manchester City man's third appearance in Russia again came at the heart of Roberto Martinez's 3-4-3 formation, with De Bruyne operating alongside Axel Witsel as a sitting midfield; throw in the lack of mobility of his partner, who now plies his trade in China, and De Bruyne finds himself operating as a venerable dog's body in midfield, unable to push too far forwards for fear of leaving space that Witsel is unable to cover

Were De Bruyne playing alongside N'Golo Kante, a player who covers every blade of grass, then he'd be more liberated

However, restrained, he was left to underwhelm against a tenacious Japanese display - until he cast off the shackles with his role in the winner

He needs to be allowed to do that more often. 2. No ennui with Inui Takashi Inui has spent much of his career with a point to prove

He turned professional with Yokohama F Marinos in his homeland, before being sent on loan to a lower division with Cerezo Osaka

Twenty goals in the 2009 season led them to Japan's top flight, where he impressed and subsequently earned a move to Germany with VFL Bochum

However, he had to go to the second tier again and prove himself, before he could take the step up into the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt

Three years later he moved to Eibar, the La Liga minnows, and after three years with them has this summer got a move to one of Spain's grandest clubs, Real Betis

At the age of 30, Inui has shown his class at this World Cup. A talented ball-player, he's cool in possession, technically extremely gifted, always seemingly has time on the ball, and is capable of producing magic

His goal, and performance was excellent and he didn't deserve to see his World Cup end in Rostov

3. The Roberto Martinez conundrum Is it better to be a good coach or a lucky one? Roberto Martinez is really testing the theory that it may be better to be the latter

For 65 minutes the Spaniard was outmaneuvered by his opposite number, Akira Nishiro

Nishiro had clearly done his homework and his side were set up to take advantage of the space in behind Belgium's wing-backs and the immobile Witsel, through the clever movement of Kagawa, Inui and Haraguchi

His response was to replace the ineffective Dries Mertens with Marouane Fellaini's aerial threat and power and go more direct, aka The Jose Mourinho

Within four minutes, Jan Vertonghen's cross looped in and gave them a foothold in the game out of nowhere

Five minutes after that, Martinez's Manchester United trump card headed home to make it 2-2 and then they were firmly in the ascendency

However, they then slackened, when Japan appeared there for the taking, and extra time loomed

That was until a blistering counter, led by De Bruyne - who is so shackled by Martinez's use of him as a holding midfielder but was able to do what he does best for the first time in the 94th minute - and finished by Nacer Chadli, a player who barely played for West Brom last season but to whom Martinez is loyal

Is he a good manager? Is he a lucky one? Or is the answer somewhere in between? 4

Belgium have it all to prove against Brazil Look at Belgium's form in recent years

Sure, their last defeat came on September 1, 2016, but can you name a really good side that they have beaten? The answer is no, simply because they have't played any

The last time they met a really elite side came in 2016, where they lost to Italy at the Euros when Antonio Conte and the Azzurri did a job on them

Post-Euros they played Spain and David Silva put in a sterling performance as Martinez lost his opening match in charge

They thrash Gibraltar, Estonia, Saudi Arabia etc. They talk a big game off the field, players this week mentioning how they aren't scared of Brazil

Now, after all the talk, they get to walk the walk. They'll need to be a darn sight better than they were in Rostov

5. What a counter attack When it mattered, when it truly mattered, Belgium showed that they had the stomach for the fight, coming back to win 3-2

And in the 94th minute, they produced a textbook counter-attacking goal to seal their quarter-final place

Did Japan over-commit at the corner? Perhaps. But when Thibaut Courtois claimed the corner from the right, what then happened was simply magnificent

From his quick bowl out, to De Bruyne's surge through the centre and pass to Meunier, his low ball, Lukaku's dummy - after some of the best centre-forward movement you could possibly wish to see - and then Chadli's finish

It was simply stunning. poll loading World Cup quarter-final: Who wins? Belgium or Brazil 0+ VOTES SO FAR Belgium Brazil

Japan's dejected players followed the lead of their fans by clearing up after themselves following Monday night's World Cup last-16 defeat to Belgium

The Samurai Blue were involved in a thrilling clash, taking a two-goal lead in Rostov, but were undone by one of the great World Cup comebacks as Jan Vertonghen, Marouane Fellaini and Nacer Chadli all netted in the final 20 minutes

Japan's players were heartbroken afterwards, having been so close to setting up a quarter-final clash with Brazil

Their good etiquette has rubbed off on other fans, with fellow Group H side Senegal also picking up trash after the game

And that attitude extends to the team too; although there were plenty of tears after the defeat to Belgium, the players still opted to tidy up after themselves in the changing room

They even left a note in Russian that simply read 'Thank You', ensuring that they leave the World Cup having won plenty admirers for their conduct both on and off the pitch

World Cup: Belgium downs Japan with Nacer Chadli's injury time goal capping historic comeback - Duration: 4:59.

World Cup: Belgium downs Japan with Nacer Chadli's injury time goal capping historic comeback

Email.

Belgium threw caution to the wind to reach the World Cup quarter-finals as substitute Nacer Chadli scored in the dying seconds against Japan to snatch a 3-2 comeback win and set up a clash with five-time champions Brazil.

The distraught Japanese, who went 2-0 up with goals by Genki Haraguchi and Takashi Inui early in the second half, fell to the turf after Chadli poked the ball home from Thomas Meunier's cross four minutes into added time at the Rostov Arena.

Belgium, which had taken a conservative approach to the game, got back into contention with late goals by Jan Vertonghen and substitute Marouane Fellaini before Chadli struck.

"That's what happens in the World Cup.

It was a test of character and a test of the team.

It tells you everything about this group of players," Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said.

One of the most exciting teams of the group phase, Belgium faced an embarrassing exit but finally clicked to become the first team to win a World Cup knockout game from two goals down since West Germany beat England 3-2 after extra time in 1970.

Belgium's "golden generation" have now scored 12 goals in four games in Russia ahead of a mouth-watering last eight clash with Brazil, which beat Mexico 2-0 earlier.

With centre back Vincent Kompany back in the line-up for the first time since picking a groin strain in a warm-up game, Belgium had looked safe at the back but uninspired up front.

Both teams fought a tight midfield battle but their forwards froze in the area and Belgium's wide players, Meunier and Yannick Carrasco, did not take risks going forward, effectively turning a 3-4-3 formation into a more conservative 5-2-3 system.

Japan got closest to a goal in a dull first half when Belgium keeper Thibaut Courtois let the ball slip from his hands and between his legs but recovered before it crossed the line.

The Japanese were ahead soon after the break, though, when Haraguchi beat the offside trap and ran into the area to beat Courtois with a cross-shot in the 48th minute.

Belgium responded but Hazard's shot rattled the post and Japan doubled its tally in the 52nd when Inui picked up the ball 25 metres out and fired a missile into the back of the net.

The Red Devils were still struggling but they pulled a goal back after 69 minutes when Vertonghen looped a header from a high clearance back across goal into the far top corner.

The momentum had shifted and in the 74th, Eden Hazard's cross was met by Fellaini, who equalised from close range with a powerful header.

Belgium continued to push forward and both Chadli and Lukaku forced Japan keeper Eiji Kawashima into a couple of spectacular saves with powerful headers four minutes from full time.

In stoppage time, Keisuke Honda's 30-metre free-kick was parried away by Courtois.

The keeper then launched the ball to Kevin De Bruyne, who made a beeline through the field before finding Meunier, whose cross was met by Chadli for the winner.

Belgium complete stunning comeback to knock out Japan - Duration: 4:45.

Belgium completed a stunning second-half comeback to rescue its World Cup hopes and crush those of Japan in Rostov-on-Don

With the "Samurai Blue" leading 2-0 after 52 minutes, it looked as though the Red Devils' star-studded squad would be the latest to bite the dust after a long line of upsets in Russia

However, headers from Jan Vertonghen and Marouane Fellaini hauled Belgium level, before a stunning counterattack saw Nacer Chadli snatch a dramatic last gasp winner with the last kick of the game

Belgium will now play Brazil on Friday in a much-anticipated quarterfinal clash.Japan heartbreak

Defeat was a cruel outcome for a Japan side that was smooth in possession, incisive in attack and brave in defense all evening

With the game scoreless at halftime, Akira Nishino's team began to take control at the beginning of the second period -- scoring two quickfire goals to leave the Belgians staring down the barrel

Striker, Genki Haraguchi, opened the scoring with an accurate strike into the bottom corner after being played through by Gaku Shibasaki

And before Belgium had chance to process going behind, Japan had doubled its lead

Kagawa showed some neat footwork on the edge of the area before popping a pass off to Inui

Taking one touch to move the ball out of his feet, the play-maker struck sweetly to find the far corner past the flailing arm of Thibault Courtois in goal

Belgium looked shell-shocked, as did manager Roberto Martinez who was stood passively in the technical area locked in confused conversation with assistant Graeme Jones

But it was a moment of inspiration, or perhaps just sheer good fortune, that got Belgium back into the game

Inui's wild clearance in the box following a Belgium corner launched the ball 20 feet into the air

Vertonghen watched it come down onto his head and looped the ball over keeper Eiji Kawashima and into the top corner

Incredibly, the Belgians were level within minutes.Captain Eden Hazard put an inviting cross into the box and Marouane Fellaini outmuscled Gen Shoji to head past Kawashima

Belgium had never won a last 16 World Cup match inside 90 minutes and as the clock ticked down it looked increasingly likely that this game was to be decided by extra time or penalties

But with just seconds remaining, a rapid counter-attack saw Belgium complete its remarkable comeback

Nacer Chadli was in the right place as Thomas Meunier's low cross arrived at his feet to calmly slot home

Celebrations and commiserations.Belgium's players and bench celebrated wildly. And there was more than a hint of relief that this "golden generation" of players hadn't thrown away another shot at tournament glory

Japan barely had time to restart the game as referee Malang Diedhiou blew his whistle for full time

There was a mixture of shock and despair on the Japanese players' faces. Some beat the ground, while others sat in stunned silence

In the crowd, fans bedecked in Japanese blue could not hold back their tears.Belgium boss Martinez later acknowledged his side had been fortunate but told reporters that in the World Cup "it's about getting through, it's about winning

That point of view seemed to be appreciated in the Belgian capital of Brussels where thousands of supporters at a public screening of the match greeted the victory with joyous celebrations

Those fans, and their heroes in Russia, now have a quarterfinal against tournament favorites Brazil to look forward to

Japan 'an example for all teams' for leaving dressing room spotless after Belgium loss - Duration: 11:30.

After the agonising nature of their last-16 defeat by Belgium, Japan's World Cup squad and their thousands of fans would have been forgiven for leaving the Rostov Arena as swiftly as possible

A number of Japan players were in tears after being knocked out of the tournament when a late, late goal from Nacer Chadli sealed a 3-2 comeback victory for Belgium

But, as revealed by FIFA general coordinator Priscilla Janssens on Twitter, Japan's squad went to extra lengths to thank their hosts in Russia as they bowed out

Sharing a picture of their spotless post-match dressing room, Janssens wrote: 'This is the Japanese dressingroom (sic) after losing to Belgium in the 94' minute

'Thanked their fans in the stadium, cleaned up everything (bench and dressingroom) and spoke to media

Even left note with 'thank you' in Russian.'What an example for all teams!! Privilege to work with!' Japan's fans were also pictured collecting rubbish from the stands moments after watching their side crash out in the most dramatic of circumstances

Their travelling supporters in Russia have been seen staying behind after each of their matches to help stadium workers to clear away litter

And on Monday, this was all after Japan seemed destined to cause the latest shock of a dramatic World Cup

They carved out a 2-0 lead over Belgium - one of the favourites to win the tournament - in the second half in Rostov, thanks to two goals in four minutes from Genki Haraguchi (48) and Takashi Inui (52)

But Belgium replied with a quick-fire double of their own; Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen sparked the comeback in the 69th minute and Marouane Fellaini hauled them level five minutes later

Belgium then stole victory in the 94th minute when Thibaut Courtois caught a Japan corner and started a sweeping counter-attack through Kevin De Bruyne

De Bruyne found Thomas Muenier surging forward on the right and his low cross was left by Romelu Lukaku for the onrushing Chadli to convert from close range

'I do not want to really admit it but this was a tragedy, but I have to accept this defeat as a fact

I feel devastated, very disappointed,' Japan coach Akira Nishino said.'The players played to the best of their abilities, we were able to show good football on the pitch but our aim was to go to the next round so I cannot call this a success

'I told the players to go and take a shower because they were just standing there not able to do anything

'It's not just that we played well, but we had to win this game, we wanted to win, our team were strong enough and we were able to match Belgium and I believed we could beat them

'When they scored I questioned whether I was in control in the game, and thought that I should be blamed and not the players

I blamed myself, I questioned my tactics,' he added.'I wanted my players to have a different mentality to Japanese teams in the past, I think we succeeded in having a different mentality but there was something missing in our skills and powers

Belgium's comeback against Japan can't mask the flaws in their system. Roberto Martinez's tactics are naive and Brazil will be licking their lips

As Belgium fell two goals behind to Takashi Inui's stunning 52nd-minute strike, Roberto Martinez stood with his arms folded on the edge of his technical area

.His Belgium side were crashing out of the tournament, their country's golden generation watching their hopes of World Cup glory go up in smoke

.Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Toby Alderweireld, Vincent Kompany

none would have the chance to win on the world's biggest stage while still at their prime

And it seemed crystal clear where to place the blame. .There were warning signs heading into the tournament

One of those star players, De Bruyne, saw it coming as early as November, criticising Martinez's system as overly negative following a 3-3 friendly draw with Mexico

.De Bruyne's frustrations were understandable given his criminal misuse by Belgium

The star man in Pep Guardiola's title-winning Manchester City side and one of the elite play-makers in Europe, De Bruyne is shackled with defensive responsibilities for his country as a deep-lying central midfielder under Martinez

His ineffectual display against Japan is just one of the major flaws in a Martinez system that fails miserably to extract the best of the players at his disposal

.Martinez's predecessor Mark Wilmots was accused of the same thing after their Euro 2016 exit to Wales, the current manager can expect similar criticism should Belgium fall to Brazil in the next round

A 3-5-2 formation was chosen by Martinez on his appointment despite no suitable options for wing back

Yannick Carrasco and Thomas Meunier were selected to play wide despite neither looking comfortable with defensive responsibilities

It was fitting that Belgium were so nearly dumped out by a disciplined, tactical performance

On Monday evening in Rostov, both were left horribly exposed by Japan's wide players - Inui and Genki Haraguchi - who got in behind the wing backs almost at will

Dries Mertens and Hazard pushed far too high up, leaving acres of space for the opposition wingers to run in to and with more care Japan could have taken a lead heading into the break

.In possession Belgium's centre-back trio Jan Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Kompany only had simple balls on to Witsel and De Bruyne, who were forced to drop deep in order to get involved

.And in four second-half minutes Belgium were spectacularly put to the sword by a far less talented, but far more organised Japan side

The attack-minded Carrasco, now plying his trade in the Chinese Super League, was AWOL as a long ball in behind caught Belgium out

Vertonghen misjudged and Haraguchi took full advantage. .The second came with another wide ball over the top

Belgium half-cleared a cross, the ball came to Inui and Witsel couldn't prevent the midfielder from unleashing a stunning strike past Thibaut Courtois

.Of course, Belgium would eventually dig themselves out of the hole. A fluke headed goal from Vertonghen, another from Marouane Fellaini and a clinical counter-attack finished off by Nacer Chadli did the damage as Belgium overpowered Japan

But the comeback was down to an abandonment of Martinez's 3-5-2. De Bruyne pushed further forward and Belgium began swinging crosses in to make use of their superior height advantage

They would escape but only after an almighty scare.'No negative things,' Martinez said in the post-match interview, burying his head into the sand

But a dramatic late show can't mask the glaring issues in Belgium's system.Brazil won't be so forgiving and Neymar, Philippe Coutinho, Gabriel Jesus and Co will be licking their lips heading into Friday's quarter-final in Kazan
