Belgium says goodbye to Brazil in the quarter-finals
Higuaín’s early goal was decisive against the Belgian’s vain attempts to score. Courtois and Alderweireld were starter players in Marc Wilmots’ eleven.
Argentina scored early against Belgium through Higuaín after eight minutes. The player from Naples took advantage of a loose ball to score. A goal that Argentina saved like a treasure to become the third semifinalist of this World Cup.
Argentina went to half-time ahead in the scoreboard, in a phase without big goal opportunities. Wilmots 'burned' his ships in the second half and pulled out Lukaku, Mertens and Chadli but could not change the situation. Argentina knew how to manage the team and although they suffered in the final stage of the match, they eventually slipped into the top four. Courtois saved a one-on-one against Messi.
