20:20 (IST)18 JUN 2016

Peeeeep! Peeeep! Peeeep! Full-time Belgium 3-0 Republic of Ireland

20:19 (IST)18 JUN 2016

92' If Belgium finish second and Portugal top their group then the two will meet in the next round

20:17 (IST)18 JUN 2016

90' There will be 3 minutes of stoppage time added on. Ireland fans are sitting glum in the stands

20:15 (IST)18 JUN 2016

87' Lukaku, Origi and Benteke together only contributed 2 goals for Belgium during their qualifying but Lukaku has now doubled that tally in just over 20 minutes

20:12 (IST)18 JUN 2016

85' James Mclean's effort from a free kick is off target. That was very poor

20:10 (IST)18 JUN 2016

83' De Bruyne has a shot from outside the box but it's well saved by Randolph.

20:09 (IST)18 JUN 2016

20:03 (IST)18 JUN 2016

76' Hazard again combining beautifully with Lukaku playing a cute 1-2 with him but his shot is weak

20:02 (IST)18 JUN 2016

75' Quality in the final third has been the difference between the two sides today Ireland had to go for it once Belgium got the first goal but didn't have enough to find that one moment of genius

19:58 (IST)18 JUN 2016

71' Once again Ireland gave the ball away while trying to attack at the other end. Hazard picks it up rides a challenge then it's three on one with both Lukaku and De Bruyne in space gives it to the striker and he calmly slots it past the despairing Randolph brilliant counter attack!

19:57 (IST)18 JUN 2016

70' 3-0!! LUKAKU SCORES AGAIN! That should be game over

19:55 (IST)18 JUN 2016

68' Mertens first genuine contribution is to set up De Bruyne for a shot that flies over

19:54 (IST)18 JUN 2016

19:53 (IST)18 JUN 2016

65' Well Ireland have put up a good fight so far but were always susceptible to conceding with so less of the ball, but since that first goal they have tried to push forward more only to be caught on the break by Belgium!

19:51 (IST)18 JUN 2016

Carrasco comes off and is being substituted by Dries Mertens! He is slightly limping after a crunching challenge by Robbie Brady

19:49 (IST)18 JUN 2016

62' A wonderful cross from Meunier on the right and WItsel attacks it as the Irish defence stand still. The midfielder powers it home! Randolph got a hand on it but can't prevent it from going into the net.

19:48 (IST)18 JUN 2016

61' 2-0!!! Witsel scores!

19:46 (IST)18 JUN 2016

19:46 (IST)18 JUN 2016

19:45 (IST)18 JUN 2016

19:44 (IST)18 JUN 2016

57' Dembele is off and is replaced by radja nainggolan

19:41 (IST)18 JUN 2016

19:17 (IST)18 JUN 2016

Half Time: Belgium 0-0 Ireland

19:14 (IST)18 JUN 2016

43' Close again! Vertonghen gets on the end of a free kick but get the direction on it!

19:13 (IST)18 JUN 2016

42' OFF THE LINE! De Bruyne's cross is met by Alderweireld and his header seems to be creeping in only for Hoolahan to clear off the goal line!

19:12 (IST)18 JUN 2016

40' Hazard wins a corner for Belgium. Can they get one right before half time!

19:10 (IST)18 JUN 2016

39' Ireland struggling to get the ball back as Belgium keep probing the defence looking for a decisive gap

19:07 (IST)18 JUN 2016

36' Brady took one for the team after being hit by the ball from Meunier's cross but gets up and carries on

19:05 (IST)18 JUN 2016

32' Hoolahan had a great chance to find Long but waited too long and allowed Belgium to counter. Hazard found De Bruyne who gave it back to his captain but his cross is too high for Lukaku! Entertaining end to end stuff!

19:03 (IST)18 JUN 2016

32' Foul by Witsel on Hendrick. Hoolahan takes it and Clark meets but his header is well wide

19:02 (IST)18 JUN 2016

19:01 (IST)18 JUN 2016

30' Wasteful! De Bruyne finds Meunier on the right with red shirts pouring forward but he opts to take a first time shot instead which goes harmlessly wide

18:59 (IST)18 JUN 2016

28' SHOT! De Bruyne's low drive not powerful or accurate enough for Randolph

18:59 (IST)18 JUN 2016

27 Definitely an interesting opening 27 minutes. Both teams are not holding back in terms of attacking play. Belgium with the lions share of possession but Ireland have had their chances

18:56 (IST)18 JUN 2016

18:56 (IST)18 JUN 2016

25' De Bruyne finds Carrasco with a lovely ball and the winger hits the post but puts in the rebound only to be judged OFFSIDE!

18:54 (IST)18 JUN 2016

22' GREAT OPPORTUNITY GOES BEGGING FOR IRELAND! Alderweireld misplaced his pass and Hoolahan latches on to it but he holds on to the ball for too long and the Belgian defender recovers

18:52 (IST)18 JUN 2016

21' MISS BY HAZARD, De Bruyne's cross causes all sorts of problems and it falls kindly to the Chelsea winger but he blazes over with his volley.

18:51 (IST)18 JUN 2016

20' Now Belgian have a corner after good work from Meunier, but De Bruyne's delivery is disappointing
