This is Belgium's best ever World Cup finish after having finished fourth in the 1986 edition of the tournament.

Belgium led England 1-0 after a lively opening 45 minutes in the World Cup third-place play-off on Saturday thanks to a fourth-minute goal from Thomas Meunier. 

In the 82nd minute goal, Kevin De Bruyne played a perfectly weighted pass to Hazard who surged into the box and found the bottom left-hand corner of the goal.
