Seville (Spain) (AFP)
Portugal, defending champion, took the door to the Euro.
The first shock of the round of 16 tipped in favor of Belgium, victorious 1-0 for Cristiano Ronaldo's team on Sunday in Seville and future opponents of Italy in the quarter-finals.
Thorgan Hazard rekindled the flame of the Red Devils extinguished by Portugal in the first period.
His powerful and floating strike from outside the area (42nd) gave a decisive advantage to Belgium, qualified but concerned about the injuries of his playing master Kevin de Bruyne and his captain Eden Hazard.
