- 00:37 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: France have done it!That is the final whistle and France have done it! They have won this match and they will now face the winner of the clash between Portugal and Slovenia.
- 23:19 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: 3 minutes addedJust 3 minutes added time in the second half and France are so close to a gritty win over Belgium.
- 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.
- 23:04 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Another yellow cardThis has been a cagey affair in the past 10-15 minutes and Jan Vertonghen picks up a yellow card for a rather silly challenge.
- 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.
- 22:54 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: More shots and more missesSimilar story as the first half in the second one as well - A meek shot from Antoine Griezmann and from his right foot no less. Still 0-0 and it looks like one moment of magic can end up deciding this match.
- 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.
- 22:37 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: What a saveA huge chance for Aurelien Tchouameni as his shot took a deflection from the Belgian defender and was destined for the corner of the goal. However, the goalkeeper pulled off a brilliant diving save to keep the score 0-0.
- 22:33 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Second half beginsThe second half is underway and Belgium will certainly look to attack more than what they did in the first half. On the other hand, France had no issues with the build-up but it was their finishing that needs a lot of work,
- 22:21 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Half-timeIt is half-time and the score remains 0-0. France had the better chances with Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann not finishing properly but Belgium will have to be credited for showing mettle in defense.
- 22:13 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Saliba and KoundeWhile Belgium have not bothered the French defense a lot till now, Jules Kounde and William Saliba have been quite impressive. Extremely solid in their positioning and although France have not scored, they have also seemed less likely to concede.
- 22:08 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: No luck for ThuramThuram has received two of the best chances in this game but he was just not able to take the right position on both occasions. A missed header followed by getting blocked by the centre back - He will have to do better as France's frontman.
- 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. The resultant free-kick was a good one and it took a save from Maignon to deny De Bruyne. Rabiot also received a yellow card and he is out of the quarterfinals if France can qualify.
- 21:52 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Bad finishingThe final pass has been missing quite clearly for France but their finishing has been worse. Both Mbappe and Griezmann had somewhat good chances but the end product was just not that good.
- 21:42 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Some big changesBelgium coach Domenico Tedesco has made two changes from the goalless draw with Ukraine which ensured their passage to the knockout stage in Germany. Yannick Carrasco comes in for Youri Tielemans in midfield while Lois Openda replaces Leandro Trossard on the right flank.
- 21:39 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Cagey battleIt has been a tight midfield battle between the sides till now with both sides looking to stamp their authority in the early minutes. France have been the side with more attacks but Belgium have concentrated on keeping their defensive structure in face of attacks,
- 21:33 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Match is underwayThe match is underway and this is going to be a big clash with respect to the competition. A positive start by both teams but no significant attack as of now.
- 21:25 (IST)France vs Belgium LIVE: Time for national anthemsThe teams are out in the middle and it is time for the national anthems. We are just minutes away from a massive clash in Euro 2024 and it will be interesting to see which side emerges on top.
