What a block from Gonzalez. He's having a great game. Van Buyten with the shot and he is stopped from a few yards out by Gonzalez. The USA side are giving it their all here but they look shattered. It's been all about late goals in this tournament. Are we going to see one now?
11th save for Howard, who punches it over the bar. Corner again
85 mins: Origi slams it from outside the area, straight into Howard. One more save for Tim. Probably his 600th of the tournament. Or something obscene like that.
Corner for the U.S. in the 87th minute
Hazard misses from close range. Left side of the area, he hits it with from a tight angle into the side netting. Not even forcing a save from Howard. Two minutes of normal time to go.
No offsides flag, and a last gasp effort by Howard sends it trickling wide
CHANCE BELGIUM: De Bruyne crosses it from the left to Kompany who just needs to get a clean strike on it and it's game over. But he scuffs it. Belgium now with their 16th corner.
3 minutes of extra time as Belgium heads to the corner flag again
A golden chance at Wondolowski's feet, but he can't convert
90 minutes is not enough to decide this one. Headed for extra time in Salvador
HUGE MISS: Worst offside decision of the world cup. But Wondolowski will be happy as he has just missed from two yards out. And on the replay, he was well onside.
Here we go again. No sudden death, 2 15-minute extra time periods
The inevitable. Belgium score in the 93rd minute, pushes ahead, 1-0
You sensed it was coming. Lukaku showing his strength and now it's all uphill for the US. De Bruyne has looked dangerous all match.
Chance Belgium! Vertonghen picks it up, it was 3 v 2 and he takes too long to hit it. Massive chance for Belgium. USA very exposed at the back now. Looking tired.
USA's crossing is too deep at the moment. Lot of tired legs out there.
What can you say. What a match that was. Belgium were pushed to the end. A brave performance from the USA.
After playing on the defense all day, the USMNT made that quite a match in the second half of extra time. Always exciting, this group, down to the last second. Thanks for being with us today, we'll do this again soon.
Three changes for Brazil, with that man Bernard stepping up to replace Neymar. Germany unchanged. Thoughts on those line-ups?
