  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for France to score. At the same time, Belgium does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Belgium have won 52 goals from 123 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' France are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 14' Aurelien Tchouameni was booked on 14.
  • 19' Amadou Onana has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 276 appearances.
  • 23' Antoine Griezmann is having his name booked by the referee on 23.
  • 24' Poor challenge from Adrien Rabiot. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 29' Jules Kounde has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 34' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
  • 44' Marcus Thuram-Ulien needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 49' The 26-year-old Arthur Theate has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 54' Over 54 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 59' Belgium is showing some good football. However, Belgium are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 63' Another substitution for Belgium to replace Lois Openda by Orel Mangala on 63 minute.

  • 73' It’s high time Domenico Tedesco made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 76' That is a card for Belgium. Jan Vertonghen will be fuming at that decision.
  • 81' Kevin De Bruyne has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 4 goals to his name this season.
  • 85' Jan Vertonghen doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 88' Belgium ring the changes. Yannick Carrasco has done his job and it is now time for Dodi Lukebakio to step up.
  • 90' Orel Mangala picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
