Match overview
Thorgan Hazard’s swerving strike just before the break sent the reigning champions home and propelled Belgium into the last eight. Portugal pressed after the interval, hitting the woodwork, but Courtois and a resolute back three preserved the narrow advantage through an attritional second half in the Andalusian heat.
Trivia
Belgium registered their first competitive victory over Portugal since 1989. The Red Devils’ current golden generation have now won four successive Euro finals matches-surpassing their total across all previous tournaments combined.
