SUBSTITUTIONS

Russia are making a few more changes.

Roman Zobnin and Denis Cheryshev are off. The latter only came on after half an hour in the first half!

On comes Aleksey Miranchuk and Maksim Mukhin.

Anton Shunin just about punches a Belgium corner away. They are starting to settle again now after that period of Russian pressure.

'It feels like a proper game now'

It is a really good spell for Russia. Aleksandr Golovin is the man causing the problems. He looks like the playmaker. It feels like a proper game now.

Nothing comes of the corner and Belgium push up-field. Youri Tielemans nods a pass into Romelu Lukaku's path but he has his back to goal. Belgium recycle it.

And now Russia have a corner...

But Russia win it back. Artem Dzyuba just about gets it out from under his feet and finds Aleksandr Golovin.

He swings a cross in from the right but it's half-cleared by Jan Vertonghen.

Belgium are just trying to keep the ball for a bit now. Russia have enjoyed the majority of the possession this half.

Get Involved

Kyle: Italy were outstanding on Friday night but Belgium are better. Two outstanding players aren't playing in De Bruyne and Hazard. As good as Immobile is. Lukaku is better and makes a huge difference for Belgium. This is their time.

Thorgan Hazard slips it left to Yannick Carrasco. He tries to curl it onto the head of Romelu Lukaku but there's too much on it.

Leander Dendoncker then gives away a foul in the middle before Denis Cheryshev does the same in the Belgium box.

'Russia have to believe'

Russia just have to believe. They have started this second half very well. The next goal in this game is crucial.

Vyacheslav Karavaev cuts inside off the left and curls it towards the back post.

There's nobody there.

Not much difference in terms of territory in the first half but just look at those possession statistics. Russia will probably be looking to alter that in this half.

Opta

Belgium haven't had the ball yet. There's more pressure from Russia when it comes in from the right but Artem Dzyuba is penalised for a push on Toby Alderweireld as Thiabaut Courtois punches it away.

It looks like that's a tactical change for Russia at the start of this second half. Igor Diveev replaces Dimitri Barinov and it looks like a back five now.

This was the reaction of Russia's head coach Stanislav Cherchesov for most of the first half.

They only had one shot on target in the first half which came from a header.

Straight from the kick-off, Roman Zobnin fires one over the bar from the edge of the box.

Russia keen to get a few shots in!

KICK-OFF

Back under way. Any more goals to come?

Belgium looked pretty comfortable in that half. They are still without Kevin de Bruyne and Axel Witsel, who are recovering from injuries. Eden Hazard is on the bench too.

There's a few who still think they can be tested defensively...

But are they the best team we've seen so far? Italy looked pretty decent too.

Hit the thumbs.

Russia striker Artem Dzyuba has 29 international goals and is just two short of becoming the country's all-time leading scorer.

Can he get one in this second half?

Russia need to get the ball up to Artem Dzyuba, with Aleksandr Golovin and Denis Cheryshev running off him because they are the three outstanding players in their side.

They need to get balls into the box and get the crowd involved because they could play a big part in the second half.
