A couple of goals by Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard secured Belgium their best finish in a FIFA World Cup tournament.
The Belgian side had only played the 3rd place match in 1986, and their quick counter attacks sealed the deal for them in what should be considered as a massive accomplishment for Roberto Martínez's side.
The Red Devils have also matched one record en route to their best finish in a FIFA World Cup.

And if that wasn't enough, team captain Eden Hazard will join an elite list of elusive players.
