    It just misses Jaime Penedo's right-hand upright.

    Panama coach Hernan Gomez is remonstrating about something with the fourth official.

    The top button is loosened. Gomez's not the official's.

    "It was all yellow..."

    Two more Panama players are shown yellow - Armando Cooper and Michael Murillo.

    This is currently the scene in Panama City, a usually busy highway has turned into a ghost town.

    Dion Dublin
    Ex-Aston Villa striker in Russia

    I thought the danger had gone, Torres the man mountain heads it out, somehow it end up at mertens who is a yard or two inside the box.

    There's no bend on the shot, no curl, just pure dip, laces into the corner over the keeper.

  8. 'Absolutely unstoppable'published at 17:09 British Summer Time 18 June 2018

    Mark Lawrenson

    What a stunning finish. Absolutely unstoppable. It's a decent header out originally, but it's a wonder striker. To any kids watching at home, just look at the technique there. Brilliant.

    GOAL - Belgium 1-0 Panamapublished at 47 mins

    Dries Mertens

    My word.

    Super Dries.

    Arguably the goal of the tournament so far.

    The ball is played into the Panama area - it's headed clear to the right corner of the area where Dries Mertens is lurking.

    He hits a dipping volley that gives keeper Jaime Penedo no chance.

    Wow and wow again.

    The video of the goal is coming up.

    The players are ready to come back out.

    Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois is waiting for his team-mates like billy-no-mates. They finally arrive.

    France World Cup winner and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry - one of Belgium's coaches - has a word with Romelu Lukaku.

    Torres is a leader at the back. He has got personality and character and you can see that Panama are actually growing into the game.

    Ian: Belgium, a classic example of a manager who hasn't got a clue of how to get the best out of talent on the pitch.

    Mickey: Belgium got great stars and players. But they are coached by Martinez ...I rest my case

    It hasn't come off for Hazard so far. He is still someone you would have in your team because he can change the game at any moment but I don't think the players ahead of him have helped with their movement.

    Panama have frustrated Belgium. Belgium have had most of the ball, but can't find a way through, only one and a half clear cut chances, Lukaku, De Bruyne haven't had a chance.

    Panama have done well, set up to frustrate Belgium and they have.
