    Iceland 0-1 France

    It took just 46 seconds...

    Former Leeds striker on BBC Four

    Wullaert's running is brilliant and she manages to get into that position. She knows Dhont is there and has to get the ball into the box. She doesn't quite get enough of it. Good defending in the end.

  3. CLOSE!published at 20:15 British Summer Time 18 July 2022

    Iceland 0-1 France

    Almost the second for France and that would have been game over.

    Sandy Baltimore finds space in the area and drills a low shot which is bound for the bottom corner but Glodís Perla Viggosdottir does brilliantly to stick out a foot and divert the ball away.

    Italy 0-0 Belgium

    Elena Dhont's corner drops on to the roof of Laura Giuliani's net and an opportunity to put the Italy goal under pressure is wasted.

    But this is good stuff from Belgium, who are beginning to dictate the play. Skipper Tessa Wullaert is finding space on the left - but this time she's unable to find a team-mate with a cross.

    Iceland 0-1 France

    Iceland skipper Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir is playing at this tournament just eight months after giving birth to a baby boy.

    A remarkable achievement.

  6. Cagey start for both sidespublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 18 July 2022

    Lucy Ward
    Former Leeds striker on BBC Four

    Both sides are making mistakes in defensive areas. Hannah Eurlings came on in the game against France and did well. It looks like she's playing in the number nine position, sometimes swapping with Tessa Wullaert.

  7. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:11 British Summer Time 18 July 2022

    Iceland 0-1 France

    Ahhh, a great chance for Iceland to level but Sveindís Jonsdottir's free header at the back from a corner clips the top of the crossbar.

    Italy 0-0 Belgium

    Ah, Elena Dhont just can't get enough of a touch on a brilliant low cross from Tessa Wullaert on the left and her weak connection is comfortably caught by Laura Giuliani.

  9. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:10 British Summer Time 18 July 2022

    Iceland 0-1 France

    Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir is down in the box after tangling with Wendie Renard, the Iceland skipper looks towards the referee for a penalty but nothing doing.

    Iceland have been well organised and disciplined in this tournament - but they just create opportunities and don't manage to put them away.

    Despite being behind, Iceland are still going through as it stands.

    It's still goalless between Italy and Belgium in Manchester.

    News of France's early goal has filtered through to the Academy Stadium. It means there are three teams locked on two points in the 'as it stands' table chasing Group D's runners-up spot. It's going to be an evening of twists and turns.

    That France goal is a dream start for Italy and Belgium, but who can capitalise?

    Hannah Eurlings takes a touch and curls a shot just over from the edge of the penalty area as Iceland threaten for the first time. Decent chances for both sides in the opening stages!

  14. CLOSE!published at 20:06 British Summer Time 18 July 2022

    Iceland 0-1 France

    Iceland need to convert any chances that fall their way in this game.

    Italy 0-0 Belgium

    A early attempt from Cristiana Girelli forces Belgium goalkeeper Nicky Evrard into action, and gets the crowd going at the Manchester City Academy Stadium.

    Good early pressure from Italy.

    Disaster for Iceland, but their fans didn't skip a beat in their clapping and drumming.

    It is the perfect start for France and even more encouraging for the games ahead is Melvine Malard scoring.

    She is the player given a chance because of Marie-Antoinette Katoto's injury and she has certainly taken that chance.

    What a start - on the front foot, very aggressive. This is really good play, a little flick inside and the Iceland defence just drop off. Clara Mateo just lays the ball off to Melvine Malard and she's cool and calm and places it in the corner.

  19. Exciting group stage conclusionpublished at 20:03 British Summer Time 18 July 2022

    Italy 0-0 Belgium

    Lucy Ward
    Former Leeds striker on BBC Four

    Both of these two teams [Italy and Belgium] have been really happy that they are still in it on the third group game because both sides haven't had it their way.

    Belgium have stayed in every game they played so they're probably favourites coming into this game.

    GOAL - Iceland 0-1 Francepublished at 20:01 British Summer Time 18 July 2022

    Melvine Malard (1 mins)

    WHAT A START!!

    Beautiful football from France and they score with their first attack after 46 seconds.

    It's Melvine Malard who strokes in from the edge of the box following Clara Mateo's driving run forward and lay-off.

    It could be a long evening for the Icelanders.
