SEVILLE, Spain (Reuters) - Defending champions Portugal were knocked out of Euro 2020 on Sunday with a 1-0 to defeat to Belgium, who will next face Italy in a mouth-watering quarter-final tie.

A 43rd-minute strike from Thorgan Hazard secured the win for Roberto Martinez's team, who survived plenty of pressure from the Portuguese in the second half.

Ronaldo then tested Belgium keeper Thibaut Courtois with a low-struck free kick as Fernando Santos's team continued to apply pressure. Belgium suffered a blow when De Bruyne limped off with an injury three minutes after the break and Santos sought to breathe life into his side's attack by introducing Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix from the bench.
