It's all over. Belgium have prevailed, but they had to fight to the last drop of sweat to do it. Credit to the USA - that was a fantastic performance, but once again the group winners go through and the underdogs are out. Thanks for joining us.

No! Green puts in a good ball but Yedlin miskicks completely and collapses with cramp. That was a desperate shame, because Yedlin has given an absolutely titanic performance here. There's only one added minute to play...
119'
The USA have one more attack in them, if that. Can they do it?
116'
DeAndre Yedlin is magic. He does well again to get down the flank and smacks in a great cross but it's just behind Wondolowski and Fellaini whacks it away.
114'
Goodness me, that was almost it. The USA got a free-kick and it was played through and Thibaut Courtois comehow kept it out from Dempsey at close range.

Chadli on, Hazard off for Belgium.
110'
Lukaku comes forward on the counter and he somehow manages to muddle his way past two players, but Howard saves it yet again. I cannot emphasis enough how dramatic this is.
118'
The USA are coming forward again, there are five players in the box for Yedlin's cross, and it's an excellent one, but Jones hits it just wide. That was very, very, very close. This is absolutely incredible.

GOAL! And they get it! What an amazing moment! Julian Green has scored for the USA! He gets a long ball over the shoulder, and it's a really difficult finish to take first time but he connects well and puts it beyond the keeper. An amazing moment for the young man and what a finale we might have on our hands now.
116'
The second half begins, and the USA surely need an early goal if they're to do anything here.

Klinsmann is making a chance which is probably too late now - the youngster Julian Green is going to come on. Bedoya makes way.

GOAL! It's 2-0, and the USA are surely finished now. Kevin de Bruyne breaks and plays a good pass through to Lukaku, who batters it into the net. Even Howard wasn't getting near that. It's all over for the USA.
101'
Once again, Belgium break. Once again, Lukaku is there with the chance. Once again, TIm Howard saves.
99'
Geoff Cameron of all people showed some nice feet to dazzle his way past a couple of challenges but his ball to Dempsey isn't quick enough, and the space to shoot is gone by the time it arrives. He lays it off, but the eventual shot is blocked and doesn't quite foll through for him. This game isn't over yet.
96'
The USA were almost dead and buried there - Belgium broke and Lukaku played in Vertonghen, but the Spurs defender took forever to decide what to do then eventually saw his right-footed effort blocked.

Kevin de Bruyne! For the third knockout stage game in a row, one of the most wasteful players on the pitch has gotten the killer goal. Lukaku's strength sees him burst through, his cutback isn't quite dealt with and De Bruyne picks it up to rattle it home.
91'
The USA kick us off for extra-time.

And it's gone to extra-time. This is enthralling - either side could win this.
90+3'
Chris Wondolowski will be absolutely delighted to be offside. Cameron's long ball is nodded on for him, clean through on goal and he puts it over. It's a shocking miss, but the flag goes up.... and then the replay shows that he was well onside.
