Brazil was about to be feeling the same thing. Everything seemed to be clicking for Neymar & Co., who like the Uruguayans had allowed just one goal in four matches. Then a Belgium header went off Fernandinho and into his net — the record 11th own-goal of the tournament — and the stout Brazilian defense parted for Romelu Lukaku to feed to Kevin De Bruyne on a break, and De Bruyne’s rocket had the Brazilians in trouble. They pulled one back and had chances to tie. They couldn’t, they are done, and Belgium is moving on.
