Hazard sensational for Belgium
July 11, 2018 00:22
That is the half-time whistle and what a game we've had so far.
Hazard and De Bruyne have been superb for the Belgians while France have threatened on the counter.
Lukaku misses a chance just before half-time. De Bruyne's shot from the right is wrongly judged by Umtiti and it catches Lukaku by surprise, who does not have enough time to get to it. The ball ricochets off the striker and goes wide.
Witsel loses possession, Pogba chips it to Matuidi on the right but nothing comes off the build-up.
Dembele brings down Pogba outside the box and it's a dangerous free-kick. Greizmann does not get the elevation, curling the free-kick into the wall.
Mbappe crosses to Pavard on the left and Courtois keeps it out.
Corner comes to nought.
Lukaku has been kept quite as Dembele fouls.
Belgium lose the ball and Griezmann cuts past a few defenders only to release a loose left-footer wide of the goal.
Hazard looks like a man on a mission while Giroud makes a hash of a couple more chances at the other end.
