    Belgium 1-0 Portugal

    Portugal have never won a Euros match when trailing at half-time (D2 L4), although one of those matches was a 2-2 draw with England at Euro 2004 that went to penalties, with the Portuguese progressing.

    Yeah, sorry for dragging that back up.

    We can't get complacent. I didn't feel too confident about the way we were playing. Lukaku isn't really in the game, the marking of Lukaku is really well done. De Bruyne didn't touch the ball a lot but now we might get a little more space for a counter attack and we have brilliant players to play the counter attack with De Bruyne and Lukaku. Let's go and let the Portuguese attack us and we will try to finish the game on the break.

    A game of Football has broken out in Seville. What a worldie from Hazard. If ever a game needed a goal....Portugal will now have to come out and play. Finally.

    For Santos I'd say keep going. You are creating chances and you look the better side, the tactics are working apart from when you're 1-0 down, but be patient. For Belgium, he's got to have them pressing higher up the field and ask a few more questions.

    Thorgan Hazard has more Euros goals in three appearances (2) than his brother Eden Hazard has in nine games (1).

    If he's anything like my brother, he'll make sure he brings that up at every available opportunity.

    Merry Christmas Eden! It's a T-shirt with a picture of me celebrating that worldie I scored in the Euros.

    Thank you Thorgan Hazard. The Belgian has lit this game up, as everyone else faltered.

    It's advantage to the best team in the world*.

    *According to Fifa.

    Joao Palhinha's rotten couple of minutes is complete as he slices a shot way, way wide from the edge of the box.

    Professor Ndebele: Thorgan Hazard doing the Hazard family thing.

    Richard: The keeper should save that

    Mike Connolly: I mean… good hit… but… should be saving that?

    The ref goes back and books Joao Palhinha for a foul on Kevin de Bruyne in the build up to that last Belgium attack.

    It was a cheeky one too.

    Well with Eden Hazard you normally say I wonder what it's like playing with a superstar brother. He's the superstar at the minute. What a great strike that was as well. I'm not sure Patricio saw that late you know. It's a great strike, he hits it across to the far post. I'm not sure the goalkeeper sees this, it swerves unbelievably right to left and he can't keep it out the net. This is what the game needed.

    Portugal are rocking. Belgium break away down the right, with Thomas Meunier crossing in low. It is nowhere near a team-mate but is sliced towards his own goal by Ruben Dias. Thankfully for the Portuguese it loops to Rui Patricio.

    Thorgan Hazard

    LIFT OFF! NOW WE'RE TALKING!

    What a hit this is from Thorgan Hazard, who is a long old way out but with little back lift fires a fierce, dipping shot into the far side of the net past Rui Patricio.

    That had a vapour trail on it.

    Vermaelen let out a big blow of air after that foul. I know how you feel, mate.

    Waste. Portugal take the corner short, have a couple of goes at finding a man in the box and are then penalised as Ruben Dias fouls Thomas Vermaelen in the air.

    Portugal win a corner. It is all down to Renato Sanches, who drives through midfield before finding Bernardo Silva, who's cross is diverted behind. Brilliant.

    Belgium are caught in two minds - do they go and press or do they drop off? Yes they are containing Portugal, but it's not affecting the game.
