- 23:14 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Kolo Muani scoresThe deadline is broken and Kolo Muani scores for France. Finally the prayers are answered and his shot took a massive deflection and crashed into the net. France are ecstatic and just a bit more than four minutes remain for Belgium to find something in this game.
- 22:58 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Chance for LukakuA big chance for Romelu Lukaku who did all the hard work by running past the France defenders but his shot was saved well by Maignon. This is a positive sign for Belgium but they will have to sustain this pressure against a pumped up France.
- 22:47 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Pacy DokuIn a game where Belgium have really not created much, Jeremy Doku has been a ray of hope for them. His pace has created quite a bit of issues for the French stars and he was able to induce tackles that resulted in two yellow cards in the first half.
- 22:41 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Misfiring LukakuA big concern for Belgium in Euro 2024 till now has been Romelu Lukaku. The big striker did get a number of chances but he was not able to finish most of them. He did get three goals in the group stages but they were all disallowed. No chances for him today and that can be a problem going forward.

- 22:03 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Clear tacticsThe tactics of both side have been very clear in the first half - direct attacking football by France and counter-attacks by Belgium. While the match has not seen any goal till now, the midfield battle has been quite interesting and that can end up deciding the winner.
- 21:55 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Yellow card for GriezmannA rash challenge by Antoine Griezmann on Jeremy Doku results in a yellow card.
