Belgium scored a last-gasp winner to beat Japan and set up a World Cup quarter-final against Brazil.

The match looked set for extra-time yesterday after goals from Jan Vertonghen and Marouane Fellaini cancelled out efforts from Genki Haraguchi and Takashi Inui.

But as the seconds ticked down, Belgium poured forward and Nacer Chadli grabbed a dramatic winner.
