This implies Belgium have completed third, which is their greatest end ever and England have completed fourth equalling their second greatest end ever. 

Full time: Belgium – 2 England – Zero

On for the previous couple of minutes, Dele Alli tries a sneaky flick, however that ends in a Belgium counter-attack. De Bruyne appears for the Meunier on the again submit however England clear. 

Dier, who has had an excellent second half, overhits an tried cross to Kane, permitting Courtois to wash up.

So until Mbappe or Griezmann rating a hat-trick within the closing, Harry Kane will take house the Golden Boot. He has been horrible as we speak and has had the least touches within the recreation. 

England, understandably, have gotten reckless of their try to get one thing from this recreation, leaving much more gaps for Belgium to take advantage of.

Belgium need extra. This time Hazard leads the burst ahead and finds de Bruyne who hoped to get himself on the scoresheet too. However Stones’ is available in the best way of his shot at aim. 

De Bruyne collected the ball in midfield and turned and ran at England like he has executed all recreation. He then slipped ball into Hazard as Jones acquired his toes in a muddle towards a well-known foe who watlzed previous him and beat Pickford on the close to submit with energy. 

GOAL: Eden Hazard has scored and Belgium lead 2-Zero 

What a unbelievable break by Belgium! With back-heel flicks and one-time passes they hurtled from their very own field into the English one, whereupon Mertens hung a splendid cross as much as the far submit. Meunier arrived to fulfill it with a agency volley. Pickford stood as much as it to make a nice save!

Dier has come on robust on this second interval. He’s simply flipped a pleasant cross from exterior the D to Loftus-Cheek, who couldn’t fairly get below management.

Dier and Loftus cheek look to getaway from the Belgian protection, however as an alternative de Bruyne leads out a counter assault and finds Mertens, who went for glory however scuffed the shot. 

A cute chipped cross by Trippier to Lingard, who does properly to hit it first-time throughout the face of aim. Dier meets it and sends a downwards header wider from seven yards. Proper after that, Maguire heads large from one other Trippier freekick.

England are beginning to create a number of probabilities with lower than 20 minutes left within the recreation. Dier had one other probability along with his head. Courtois stood firmly in the best way. 

Trippier sends the ball in to the again submit in search of one in all his teammates, however Kompany who has been excellent as we speak clears it away for a nook. 

That was a a lot better transfer from England with somewhat little bit of tempo and verve coming in over there. They’ve a free-kick now after Rashford was stopped by Kompany unfairly as he tried to show and run away. 

England very practically equalised as Dier dinked it over Courtois. However Alderweireld comes round brilliantly to clear it off the road. That might have thrown the cat among the many pigeons instantly!

Dier has a crack from long-range, however Courtois saves his low drive with out ado.

Kane retains Golden Boot benefit: Romelu Lukaku’s withdrawal means the Belgium ahead can not now reel in Harry Kane within the scoring chart. It is going to take one thing particular on this recreation or tomorrow’s Last to disclaim the Englishman the accolade.

Good play by England to pen Belgium again after which create room for Loftus-Cheek to cross from the proper. It’s a cracking supply throughout the face of aim, although a nick off Vermaelen takes it past the attain of Kane.

An England nook comes out to Harry Kane who’s try to volley is woeful and it looks like type has abandoned him halfway via the match. The set-piece for England is was a counter-attack by de Bruyne who finds Mertens on the wing, however has pushed him too large sadly..

Kompany produces a cunning flick on the close to submit to ship Mertens’ nook into the mixer. No Belgian anticipated that, nevertheless, and England are in a position to welly it away.

After some ball hogging by each side, Alderweireld finds Hazard with a stupendous ball and Meunier comes down the proper overlapping. However Rose stops the cross from coming in. 

England who’ve had quite a lot of possession and virtually double the variety of passes compared to Belgium however proceed to fail to impress with their closing passes. Belgium now take of de Bruyne and produce on Mertens with an hour gone within the recreation. 

Likelihood! As soon as once more Lukaku is put via one on one on aim by de Bruyne’s good cross via the hole between the central protection. Lukaku’s first contact is horrible. To be truthful, he has had probabilities to attain however has lacked the killer insticnt. 

England have seemed extra like equalising within the final 10 minutes than in the entire of the primary half. Lingard has injected life into the assault and as soon as once more virtually discovered Kane with a volley throughout the face of the aim. Kane couldn’t get something on it in any other case that was 1-1. 

Stones booked for knocking down Hazard as Belgium broke away after clearing England’s nook. If a Japanese participant had executed that earlier on this match, Belgium wouldn’t be right here as we speak.

England have been brighter on this half, wanting to run at their opponents. Trippier has an opportunity to ship from the proper and the set-piece supply is harmful. Alderweireld has to concede a nook. 

Rashford has a dart at Belgium’s protection however cannot make house to shoot. England hold the ball earlier than Phil Jones goes to the byline in search of a ball again into the field. However Courtois covers properly and releases Hazard who’s having fun with working on the English protection.
