The Belgium players are now receiving their bronze medals, followed by their manager, Roberto Martinez, and the rest of the coaching staff.
The players from both teams are now thanking their fans, as we wait for the ceremony for the third place medal distribution.
And the referee finally blows the whistle, to bring this third place play-off to an end. Belgium will now go home with their best ever World Cup finish, 3rd place. England, on the other-hand, go home with the 4th place, their second best finish at the tournament.
Belgium 2-0 England
for Witsel (BEL)
Hazard broke free again and passed out wide to De Bruyne who was at the edge of the England penalty area. But De Bruyne's cross to the far post was cleared out by an English defender.
Belgium calmlymoving the ball around. England have neither the energy, nor the will left to actually try anything, at the moment, even as they recover possession.
3 minutes added on.
Again, Belgium quickly counter from England's slow, lumbering work with the possession. Hazard's cross is blocked, and England manage to escape again.
Another counter from Belgium led to Hazard almost setting up De Bruyne. But Stones got a well-timed tackle in to prevent De Bruyne from getting a chance.
Dele Alli: In ; Loftus-Cheek: Out
De Bruyne involved once again. The play-maker's pass to Hazard completely negated the retreating English defence, and Hazard was left one-on-one against the keeper. The Belgium captain made no mistake in slotting the ball into the goal from the near post. Wonderful football from the Belgians.
Hazard (BEL)
Belgium 2-0 England
SHOT! Brilliant counter by Belgium from the edge of their box to England's box. De Bruyne and Hazard casually connected to set up Meunier on the far side of the English Box. Meunier's shot on the volley was bang on target and curved beautifully. But Pickford dived and made the save.
