Robbie Brady whips it in again, but the lanky figure of Thibaut Courtois strolls off his line to catch the ball cleanly in the middle of the six-yard box.

Theo Bowyer: Belgium have all the parts but no glue... They need to find a new formula and stick with it!

"It didn't look entirely comfortable for Ireland from that set play. No real organisation in there. 

"It's a great ball from Kevin de Bruyne, that's exactly what you want when you're attacking free-kicks."

Republic fans find their voice as their team earn a corner after Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen heads a cross away...

Belgium causing problems with their set-pieces.

Again, it's Kevin de Bruyne who delivers a beauty of a ball into the box, but no team-mate can get on the end of his inswinging free-kick from the left and Darren Randolph sees it wide.

Republic into the Belgium half for the times side.

Derby's Jeff Hendrick, long hair combed all the way back, was impressive against Sweden, but his cross is wayward and goes over Thibaut Courtois's crossbar.

Talking of hair, plenty of dodgy barnets on the Belgium bench today, with Marouane Fellaini and Radja Nainggolan sat there.

“Belgium do play a little bit like you’re not allowed to tackle them, don’t they?

“On three of four occasions different individuals in the Belgium team have been caught in possession now.”

Belgium's first sighter.

Kevin de Bruyne whips in an inviting corner into the box and it's met by Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld, but his glancing header flies a couple of yards wide.

Belgium pressurising and Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan is forced to concede a corner...

Difficult for Republic of Ireland at the moment, they're sitting deep so everytime they lose the ball, it's coming back at them straight away.

Skipper Eden Hazard finds space on the left for the first time, but can't find a Belgium team-mate with his cutback.

Republic of Ireland really getting stuck into Manchester City man Kevin de Bruyne, they need to with the threat he possesses.

This time left-back Stephen Ward puts in a hearty tackle on the midfielder to thwart an attack down Republic's right.

Cagey stuff thus far.

“That’s the threat, you vacate your position too early and the threat from Belgium is very evident. 

"It's a little under-hit pass from Robbie Brady - they’ve got to be careful they’re not throwing bodies forward too quickly Republic of Ireland.”

Republic of Ireland have 11 men behind the ball in a 4-5-1 formation as Belgium look to play the ball around.

Martin O'Neill takes a swig of his water as he assesses the situation while standing on the touchline.

No shots from either side yet.

Shane Long is up top on his own for Republic of Ireland and will need one of his team-mates to come forward in support.

Meanwhile, Yannick Carrasco, who scored in the Champions League final for Atletico Madrid, puts in a cross from the right but no problems for goalkeeper Darren Randolph to collect.

A confidence-booster early on for the West Ham stopper.

Republic of Ireland will be looking to get on the front foot early and not let Belgium dictate the play.

A nice early challenge for defender Ciaran Clark, who sends Kevin de Bruyne tumbling to the ground with a strong tackle. He won't have slept much over the last few days after the own goal he scored against Sweden.
