86′ WALES SCORE! Vokes with a superb header to beat Courtois and make it 3-1! Gunter with a cross from the right which Vokes flicks on from a tight angle. 

85′ Alderweireld (Belgium) is shown a yellow card

80′ Vokes (in) – Robson-Kanu (out) (Wales)

78′ King (in) – Ledley (out) (Wales).

77′ CLOSE! Fellaini heads it down into a good area but Witsel is just late to it.

76′ CHANGE: Mertens (in) – J. Lukaku (out) (Belgium).

75′ Ramsey (Wales) is booked for a handball. Misses the next match.

74′ MISSED! Fellaini attacks a chip into the box but it goes wide. You would expect him to score from there!

71′ De Bruyne has a run at the Wales goal. Tries to squeeze in a cross but it is crucially intercepted.

59′ Fellaini is booked.

57′ Too much to call that Cruyff-esque?

55′ GOAL! WALES LEAD 2-1! Robson-Kanu with the goal! Robson-Kanu with a sublime turn to leave three defenders for the dead and score into the corner. 

49′ CLOSE! Hazard cuts in from the left and tries to curl it into the corner but his effort is just wide!

48′ CHANCE! Meunier sends in a perfect cross for Romelu Lukaku but the Belgium striker glances his header wide

Belgium with a change: Fellaini (in) – Carrasco (out)

Second half underway.

HALF TIME: Wales 1-1 Belgium at the break with goals from Radja Nainggolan and Ashley Williams.

44′ SHOT! Ramsey with a chip cross and Bale gets a header to it but no real power on it to beat Courtois.

40′ Five minutes to go into the first half. It has been enthralling and end-to-end stuff. Both teams with plenty of intent to attack and go for the goals. Just like yesterday between Portugal and Poland. Hope the second half trend from yesterday isn’t followed!

33′ Bale with another breathtaking run but good job by the Belgian defence to shift him to his relatively weaker right foot. Courtois dives to save without much problem.

31′ GOAL! Ashley Williams heads it in to equalise for Wales! Ramsey takes the corner and an unmarked Ashley Williams heads it down to make it 1-1

26′ SAVE! Ramsey with a pull back from inside the box and N Taylor is denied! Or the shot is straight at Courtois. Either way, huge chance!

24′ Gunter (Wales) is booked.

16′ Chester (Wales) is shown a yellow card.

13′ BELGIUM SCORE! Nainggolan with an absolute screamer! Nainggolan allowed space to take a shot from outside the box and we’ve already seen what he can do from distance. This time he hits the back of the net with a thunderous strike and it hits the corner of the net. UNSTOPPABLE!

9′ Bale gallops forward for Wales down the left and his shot hits the side netting.

7′ CLOSE! Three goal line clearances by Welsh players. First Carrasco is denied, then Meunier and last by Hazard. Glorious chance for Belgium to go up 1-0!
