  2. HALF-TIME- Scotland 0-3 Belgiumpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 9 September 2019

    Ah, the mercy of the half-time whistle.

    Scotland started really brightly but a combination of Kevin De Bruyne's sheer brilliance and some school-boy defending means Scotland are getting a hiding on the scoreboard.

    The Man City midfielder crossed for Romelu Lukaku for the opener, crossed for Thomas Vermaelen for the second and, you guessed it, crossed for Toby Alderweireld for the third.

    It's not rocket science though, give a player of that quality space and he'll punish you.

    Scotland 0-3 Belguium

    Kevin De Bruyne again finds Romelu Lukaku and the Inter Milan striker shoots straight at David Marshall.

    Has there been a better performance by a player at Hampden in the last 10 years? It's amazing to watch, defending aside.

    Bear with me but...Scotland's front six have actually been decent. Defensively, though, not good enough.

    Scotland 0-3 Belgium

    You can tell the stuffing has been knocked completely out of Scotland.

    Kevin De Bruyne drifts into the half-space on the left, drives a cross through the legs of Charlie Mulgrew to Thomas Meunier at the back-post, but the winger finds the side-netting.

    The man is unplayable.

    A lot of people want Scotland to play open football and be in team's faces but if you do that you leave more space and teams like Belgium hurt you.

    The dissapointing thing is that it's from a corner. It's a good foot over the line. It's the quality from Kevin de Bruyne again.

    It's getting embarrassing.

    It's a simple corner and the Tottenham centre-back heads it off the bar and in. Guess who delivered it? Kevin De Bruyne. Three assists for the Man City star.

    Shocking defending from the hosts. Belgium haven't even played well.

    Scotland 0-2 Belgium

    Youri Tielemans sends a looping volley inches wide for the visitors. Liam Cooper gifted the ball to him with a sloppy clearance.

    David Marshall was rooted to the spot there.

    Decent chance for Scotland. Ryan Christie plays a first-time lay-off in to Matt Phillips who has a dig from the edge of the box, but Courtois smothers it.

    Several thousand Red Devils supporters inside Hampden and they’re the ones making the noise as their team begin to show their class. I wonder how many young Scots showed up tonight primarily to watch these superstars.

    It's a scrappy set-piece that they take. Kevin de Bruyne gets it in with his right foot and it's all a bit scrappy. He plays it in to that area that is so, so difficult to defend. But the cross from De Bruyne is absolutely magnificent.

    Thomas Vermaelen

    Sigh.

    It's another pearler of an assist from that man De Bruyne. His ball is whipped beautifully across the face of goal, and Vermaelen side-foots it into the roof of the net. They were queuing up.

    There's not much happening at the moment. Scotland have been neat and tidy in possession, without any real penetration.

    Belgium have been poor, apart from one moment of brilliance. The visitors are enjoying more and more possession, though.

  15. Don't look now but...published at 20:05 British Summer Time 9 September 2019

    Scotland 0-1 Belgium

    Cyprus are beating San Marino, which means as things stand in Group I, Scotland sit fifth.

    Pass me the extra packet of Haribos...

    Kevin De Bruyne is the god of passing. He lifts a delicious ball in towards Lukaku, who makes a meal of the finish.

    Belgium now growing into the game, having already scored. Ouch.

    Here comes another Scotland corner. Robert Snodgrass whips it in and it's dealt with. Scotland have been good...if you ignore the goal.

    I've seen Kevin De Bruyne do that for Man City so many times. He breaks so quickly. His pass is exquisite. You have to applaud the opposition. Even the best teams in the Premier League can't stop him.

    Can Scotland shake of that sucker punch? Robert Snodgrass curls in a dangerous ball but it's cleared by Toby Alderweireld.

    That's 32 goals for Romelu Lukaku in the red of Belgium since August 2016. Nobody else has more in international football during the same period. Lethal.
