A classic World Cup quarter-final saw Eden Hazard's Belgium get the better of Neymar's Brazil.
In the absence of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two best players remaining in the competition were fighting to become its star. Hazard won.

The Chelsea winger dazzled where Neymar disappointed. He was virtually unplayable at times and illuminated the Kazan Arena with the ball at his feet. There was daylight between their performances.

With so many superstars on display, the match was billed as a showdown between the two Real Madrid targets.
Fans on Twitter, including Frank Sinclair, have unanimously picked their champion.
