    The half-time whistle goes and Ukraine lead. Probably deserved too.

    Ukraine 1-0 France

    Dynamo Kyiv's Mykola Shaparenko genuinely looked overcome by emotion after scoring that one.

    Netherlands 1-0 Montenegro

    And there is the whistle for the break. All going to plan for Louis van Gaal and his side.

    Mykola Shaparenko (44 mins)

    What a goal!!!!

    Roman Yaremchuk runs down the right for Ukraine and crosses. Kurt Zouma pokes it out of the box into the path of Mykola Shaparenko.

    The 22-year-old controls the ball and almost passes it into the top corner from 20 yards. Unbelievable.

    That's his first international goal too.

    Ukraine 0-0 France

    Huge chance for France. Paul Pogba plays a lovely through ball to Manchester United team-mate Anthony Martial.

    Goalkeeper saves. But wait...

    Ukraine 0-0 France

    Viktor Tsygankov is back on.

    Netherlands 1-0 Montenegro

    Memphis Depay is bang up for this. He goes close to a 30th international goal with a curling shot that just clears the bar.

  10. ouch!

    Ukraine's Viktor Tsygankov needs treatment as Kurt Zouma knees his coccyx.

  11. Postpublished at 20:25 British Summer Time 4 September 2021

    Netherlands 1-0 Montenegro

    No player in the current Dutch side has more international goals than the 29 of Memphis Depay. He is his country's talisman now.

    Israel lead Austria 3-0 after 35 minutes with Eran Zahavi scoring the third.

    Ukraine 0-0 France

    Another big Ukraine chance. They have played some really inventive set-pieces. A lovely free-kick is lifted into the box but Andriy Yarmolenko can't get sufficent contact on it with his header and it's a simple stop for Hugo Lloris.

    At the end other end Paul Pogba hits a terrible shot well wide.

    Memphis Depay (38 mins)

    He wins the penalty, takes it and scores. Perfect spot-kick. Rising and into the right corner as the keeper dives left.

    A fully-deserved lead for the Dutch.

  15. PENALTY TO THE NETHERLANDSpublished at 20:22 British Summer Time 4 September 2021

    Netherlands 0-0 Montenegro

    Memphis Depay is too quick, too tricky, too smart for Montenegro. He turns sharply in the box and is taken down by his marker. No doubt. Penalty.

  16. Postpublished at 20:21 British Summer Time 4 September 2021

    Ukraine 0-0 France

    Ukraine should lead. A well-worked corner comes to Andriy Yarmolenko, who hits a sweet volley which Hugo Lloris saves...

    Saves but not gathers as Lloris spills it to Illia Zabarnyi but the teenage defender blazes over the bar from close range. A glorious chance.

    Netherlands 0-0 Montenegro

    The play is now occurring almost exclusively in the Montenegro half.

  18. Postpublished at 20:19 British Summer Time 4 September 2021

    Ukraine 0-0 France

    Corner to Ukraine now, their first of the game.

  19. Postpublished at 20:19 British Summer Time 4 September 2021

    Netherlands 0-0 Montenegro

    Cody Gakpo now with a shot saved after being set up on angle from close range.

    Some of the passing was excellent, but the shot lacked precision.

  20. Postpublished at 20:19 British Summer Time 4 September 2021

    Ukraine 0-0 France

    Kingsley Coman goes down the left from Lucas Digne's ball down the line and cuts in but then shoots miles over the bar.
