3 min: Neymar is sent scuttling into space down the left. He looks for Jesus in the middle, but the cross is too near Courtois, who plucks it from the sky with ease.
2 min: Both teams take turns to have a feel of the ball. First Brazil, then Belgium. The Belgians launch it long, but Lukaku’s never going to get it. Goal kick. But then De Bruyne hustles Fernandinho off the ball and advances on goal. He doesn’t really catch his shot, which harmlessly bobbles wide of the left-hand post. “Well, now we know how Roberto Martinez spends his pre-match preparation time,” writes Tom Fitz-Hugh, of that wallchart. “Any correlation with his teams’ poor defences or tactical weakness is purely coincidental.”
