Timeline of epic Belgium-Japan match, as told by Twitter
Belgium and Japan delivered an instant classic on Monday, combining for five goals in a manic second half that saw the Red Devils fall behind 2-0 before coming all the way back, capping the thriller with a 94th-minute winner from Nacer Chadli.
Here's a timeline of the madness, as told by Twitter.
Belgium's World Cup hopes were hanging by a thread after Japan scored twice in a four-minute second-half window, and naturally, Twitter erupted with glee ...
... Then, as quickly as Belgium fell behind, it snatched a pair of goals from Jan Vertonghen and Marouane Fellaini to draw level.
And then, incredibly, from a Japan corner kick, Belgium raced all the way back down the pitch to steal the win with the final kick of the match. Football Twitter, predictably, lost its mind - and showed a ton of love for Romelu Lukaku's excellent dummy that helped facilitate the Chadli winner:
