    "Here's to you, Vincent Kompany, Belgium loves you more than you will know, oh oh oh ohhh," sing the Red Devils fans.

    They're in fine voice and so they should be after this drubbing of Republic of Ireland.

    Four minutes left.

    "Some options, haven't they? Christian Benteke was considered the number one striker in Belgium a year ago.

    "Belgium have been a real threat when Ireland have thrown bodies forward. Belgium have recognised that and counter attacked so well."

    Republic of Ireland have a free-kick though, but James McClean's 30-yard free-kick is not the best and Thibaut Courtois waves it wide.

    Republic of Ireland have been led a merry dance by Kevin de Bruyne today.

    The Belgian jinks this way and jives that way before striking at goal, but his left-footed shot is straight at Darren Randolph.

    Belgium's last change of the day.

    Romelu Lukaku is given a rest after bagging two and striker Christian Benteke, familiar with warming the bench for club and country now, comes on.

    Dave Allen: Belgium look like flat track bullies to me. Hazard seems to turn it on when it suits him. Better teams will pick them apart 

    Gert Dalemans: Forget Roy Hodgson, @WilmotsMarc tactical genius! 

    Dave W: Lukaku kept getting the ball with his back to goal against Sweden. Different player with the ball in front of him.

    Republic of Ireland's game summed up.

    Robbie Brady attempts a curler into the top corner for the edge of the area, but his shot strikes team-mate Jeff Hendrick on the ear and runs out of play.

    Painful for Hendrick, painful for the Republic.

    Republic of Ireland all over the place at the back.

    Dries Mertens, who has been excellent since coming on, lashes a shot wide of goal.

    Into the last 10 minutes of the game.

    Republic of Ireland's record cap holder and top goalscorer Robbie Keane is being sent on to rescue the match. A monumental ask.

    Off comes Shane Long, who worked his socks off up top on his own.

    Wave after wave of Belgium attack and Republic of Ireland are getting overrun. Marc Wilmots' men have been comfortable all game.

    Kevin Kilbane
    Ex-Republic of Ireland international at Stade de Bordeaux

    "Giving possession away, sloppy passes going forward, poor crossing - this has all come from when Republic of Ireland have had comfortable possession. 

    "Belgium have got individually one of the best sides out there. You've got Eden Hazard playing with a little bit of freedom and enjoying himself again."

    That goal means Romelu Lukaku is the first Belgian to score twice in a major tournament match since now boss Marc Wilmots managed to do so against Mexico at the 1998 World Cup.

    Now he's in search of his hat-trick.

    Martin O'Neill reacts by taking off Wes Hoolahan and sending on Aiden McGeady but the game is gone now. It's all about damage limitation for Republic of Ireland.

    You can't say Belgium have not deserved this, they have clearly been the better team.

    Mark Lawrenson
    BBC football expert at Stade de Bordeaux

    "It's great play by Eden Hazard. 

    "One of the Irish defenders committed himself and it's a two against one situation. A great roll into Romelu Lukaku from Hazard and he just passes into the corner.

    "Game over."
