  • 0' In just a few seconds Merkur Spiel-Arena will turn into a battlefield for France and Belgium.
  • 5' A quiet spell here at Merkur Spiel-Arena. Belgium seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with France winning 100% of all matches.
  • 14' A meaty challenge results in booking for Aurelien Tchouameni on 14.
  • 19' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 23' It’s a booking for France player. Antoine Griezmann gets a card.
  • 24' The referee calls foul for Adrien Rabiot. He receives a card.
  • 29' Both keepers have barely been tested. France and Belgium are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 34' France seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 39' It’s high time Didier Deschamps made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 44' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 49' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 54' Belgium is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 59' The travelling Belgium supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 62' France make a change. Marcus Thuram-Ulien trudges off to be replaced by Randal Kolo Muani on 62 minutes.
  • 63' The crowd applauds Lois Openda as he leaves the pitch. Orel Mangala steps in for Belgium.
  • 68' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 73' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 76' Controversy at the stadium! Jan Vertonghen argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 81' Mike Maignan has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 85' What a strike from Jan Vertonghen! The score is 0-1.
  • 88' Dodi Lukebakio has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yannick Carrasco on 88 minute.
  • 90' Orel Mangala is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • France celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
