The Red Devils are into the World Cup semi-finals after beating the Selecao 2-1, with Roberto Martinez considered to have got his tactics spot on
Brazil had no idea how to contend with Belgium's ferocity on the counter during the first half of the Red Devils' "really beautiful" 2-1 World Cup quarter-final win, according to Kevin De Bruyne.Belgium went into half-time 2-0 up thanks to a Fernandinho own goal and De Bruyne's fierce strike, giving a Brazil side previously seen as World Cup favourites a mountain to climb.
Both goals came as the result of swift counter-attacks – De Bruyne's finish applied after a brilliant run and pass from Romelu Lukaku.
