CF ORIGI

Substitutions: Lukaku for Origi (59 mn), Mertens for Mirallas (59 mn) and Chadli for Hazard (75 mn)
Notes: Had Belgium defeated Argentina, the defender Alderweireld would've missed the semifinals since he was booked for the second time on the tournament during this game
Mertens played as LMF/left AMF, relocating Hazard as central AMF while De Bruyne was relocated as RMF, this also relocated Fellaini as left CMF, but with high tendency to join Lukaku upfront
Chadli seemingly played with in the same position as Hazard
