Manchester City ace Kevin de Bruyne hailed the manner of Belgium's World Cup quarterfinal victory over Brazil.

De Bruyne himself was outstanding, getting on the scoresheet with a fierce long-range strike after his Manchester City team-mate Fernandinho had put through his own net.

De Bruyne told BBC Sport: "It is not easy to play against Brazil, they are such a wonderful team.

"But the power we have as a team has shown today, especially the first half. I think we played magnificently.

"The second half was very difficult and the last 15 minutes were a character test but I think we showed the world what we are capable of."
