Final Scoreline for Match 56 (Round of 16 #8):


BELGIUM - 2
(De Bruyne 93', Lukaku 105')


USA - 1
(Green 107')


And even the final Round of 16 match gets stretched to the distance. The more fancy team couldn't score all through normal time, and again it was the lesser team which impressed more. Extra Time is where all the real action happened. I was asleep so can't speak about the details, but it was substitute Lukaku who had a hand in both goals, according to reports. Coming in the 91st minute in place of Origi, he first set up De Bruyne's scoring opportunity, and then thundered one in himself. USA's Green volleyed one in merely 2 minutes later, but the US couldn't find an equaliser in the remaining time.

Hold your head high, USA. You played brilliantly till your exit. As for Belgium, they advance on and bump into Argentina in the Round of 8.
