Both teams played a changed team, with England resting eight of their players from the previous match and Belgium nine, including top scorer Harry Kane who had five goals, Romelu Lukaku who had four and Eden Hazard, man of last match.

England started the game with more possession, but it was Belgium who appeared more menacing.

The 6th minute saw Belgium's first threat, when Youri Tielemans received a pass from the right and slammed at the net from about 23 meters away. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made an excellent save.

Four minutes later, Adnan Januzaj delivered a cross to Marouane Fellaini, who nodded on it. Pickford tried to save but the ball rolled through him towards the line. It was Chelsea defender Gary Cahill who managed a last-second clearance.

Belgium gradually shifted the balance thereafter.

Michy Batshuayi, the Borussia Dortmund forward who had a stoppage-time goal against Tunisia, caused chaos for the Three Lions before the half-hour mark, which was later joined by Fellaini and Januzaj. It took some efforts from John Stones, Loftus-Cheek and Rashford to save the team amid scramble.

Shortly after that Trent Alexander-Arnold won a free-kick. He found Loftus-Cheek, who flicked the header wide.

Should the match continue to be fruitless, ranking will be decided by disciplinary record. Belgium players Leander Dendoncker and Youri Tielemans were booked in the first half.
