A moment of class from Thorgan Hazard proved enough to knock out holders Portugal as Belgium continued their pursuit of a first major title by reaching the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.

The Borussia Dortmund winger's swerving drive from 25 yards arrived late in a cagey first-half and carried Roberto Martinez's side into a mouth-watering meeting with Italy on Friday.

Portugal - who again only introduced Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes from the bench - will look back on key Diogo Jota chances, a Ruben Dias header that was saved and a late Raphael Guerreiro drive that struck the post.

Kevin De Bruyne's fitness may dominate headlines in the build-up to the Italy showdown in Munich after he limped off moments after half-time, and Belgium also lost Eden Hazard to a complaint late on.

The world's highest-ranked side may have key holes to fill but again they have showed they possess the grit to complement their undoubted quality.

Martinez punched the air and shouted "yes" on the sound of the final whistle while Ronaldo crouched and beat the turf in frustration at Seville's Estadio de La Cartuja.

His side had perhaps shown their best football of the tournament in the second 45 minutes, amassing 15 of a lofty 23 shots on the night.

Jota fired a snap-shot over, Dias warmed the hands of Belgian keeper Thibaut Courtois with a point-blank header, Guerreiro found the foot of the post and substitute Joao Felix dragged a late effort wide.

Manager Fernando Santos may well be asked where such a second-half display has been hiding.

The better team won.

SpecialAdviser:


Which better team won? Obviously you didn't watch the match

The end justifies the means.
A better play without winning is tantamount to been the less better team.

How many goals did he score and how many of them are penalties?
Who's leading the goal chart in the competition?

Jokerman come cry me a river pls.

Becos dey weren't given a Penalty na.. Portugal played really well though in d second half even though Ronaldo was missing. The coach shld have left Renato Sanches who had been their best player at dis tournament and taken out Fernandes earlier.

was expected....u dnt win euros depending on an aged cr7 dt is only prolific waiting for tap ins n penalties
Belgium was so poor n lacked control after de bryune left d pitch...dey wasted a lot of key counters n allowed Portugal control d game but Portugal needed luck n found none.
Belgium winning d euros depends on de bruyne being injury free n harzard too was superb asif he was a different one in Madrid..
my team for d cup still remains Italy bcoz na only dm look serious

Otar:
Ronaldo should just retire and go into coaching. Atleast judging by his touchline exploits at Euro2016 final, he probably has a better chance as a coach of winning a trophy sometime soon than Art...

no lies bro but he still gat a record to break n maybe Portugal fa should fix a friendly game with weak countries like cambodia, gilbrata or san marino before the start of season so dt Portugal can win 10 nil n cr7 scores 7 goals bcoz he must be kept happy..
Baba dey vex badly like dis oo...

heykims:
How many goals did he score and how many of them are penalties?
Who's leading the goal chart in the competition?

5 goals and 3 penalties with only one man of d match award won in d game against d weakest team hungary...
he may end up as d top scorer bcox of his penalties but not anything close to being the best attacker or d best player...
I prefer dt bully lukaku as my top 9 than this current cr7 anytime twice on a monday...

gee dt renato was d best Portugal player on d pitch but he was subbed of because his end products was too poor..
Renato was d only midfielder i saw on dt portugal squad dt was serious....d likes of moutinho n b silver were poor, pauhinho tried bt dt jao felix n fernandez sub want needed bcoz both looked lost....bt wat do I know?

The ref should have awarded Portugal 4 penalties. Three to .Penaldo, 1 to penandez.

The useless Ref is a Messi fan.

lolz see cruise.....dt reff felix brych is a german n he had a perfect game n tried controlling d game n pepe would av seen a red for dt crazy foul..
I gave up on Portugal after seeing dier game with germany...u dnt win a cup depending on luck from penalties and all their big names didnt show up in this competition aside from cr7..
Jota kept missing chances, b.silver looked lost, jao felix wasnt interested n even andre silver lacked hunger....it seems all are too dependent on cr7 n dts dier wrong.

We said it then that Coca-cola will always outlast Ronaldo!

Didnt know it was gonna be this quick

He tried his best as well as the portugal team...it is not easy retaining that title as only few as done that...but atleast they bow out in style and they technically outplay belgium...if only jota was lucky.

It's unfortunate that Ronaldo let down his teammates. So without penaltea and tap-in, he's basically a waste of space. Seriously, his teammates deserve better!

It's only Ronaldo that will be a top scorer in a tournament and still end up not being the best player of the tournament....

He has also scored a Hatrick in a match and end up not being man of the match..

That's because most of his goals are tap ins and penalties..

Wake me up when he wins best player award (golden ball) in any international tournament..

Despite all the trolling he's still one of the best.

Baba has tried he should bow out with his head high, he has made name for himself, set record that will take time to break....

bad bele.

5 goals and 1 assist in 4 games(plus countless records shattered) is impressive from Ronaldo considering the group they were in. Plus he now has goals against Germany and France to boost his ever growing CV(if barka fans like let them cry from now to thy kingdom come that they were penalties, nobody cares). 2 international titles for Portugal is more than impressive!

As for the Argentine international flop who is still chasing his first title at 34 when he should have won at least 2(considering Argentina's pedigree and the ridiculous amount of Copa America held in the last decade), we will be waiting to drag him like tiger gen should he fail to strike gold once again.

This same Belgium would have beaten them in euro 2016 but they underrated Wales and got beaten and that's how Portugal cruise their way to the final to play France.
