Sweden are not connecting with the ball properly and drops on the second phrase. Nathalie Bjorn, I expect much better from my Everton team-mate.

Actually, De Caigny for Belgium was off the line as the header was going off the second phrase. Good defensive set-up from Belgium. Defending from set-pieces and dealing with them really well.

What Belgium are doing well is when the ball comes in they are challenging, they are up against the Swedish players and they are aware of the second ball.

They've done their homework and they are aware that Sweden have got height and set plays can be a problem. These next few minutes are absolutely vital to get to half-time.

Decent spell from Belgium but Swedish keeper Hedvig Lindahl does well with some crosses.

The Belgium goal is certainly living a charmed life as Sweden pepper it with chances but so far the deadlock hasn't been broken.

Sweden do look the stronger side but Belgium certainly carry a threat when they can get it up the pitch.

Nathalie Bjorn, Linda Sembrant and Magdalena Eriksson all have half-chances from the resulting free-kick.

The Belgium manager would be absolutely delighted with the way this team is applying the game plan he's set. Really interesting in the way he thinks the 4-2-2 system is the best way to get out of this Sweden team at the same time.

Another escape for Belgium. The corner comes in, causes chaos and Stina Blackstenius, six yards out, miscontrols the ball and Nicky Evrard jumps on it. Should have been 1-0.

Now Nathalie Bjorn shoots over from distance.

Sweden forward Kosovare Asllani is such a good footballer, a joy to watch. More skill down the left wins them another corner.

The corner is punched away by the keeper and Filippa Angeldahl's shot is deflected behind.

Belgium's first chance of the game and it's a good one. They break into the box and then pull it back to Justine Vanhaevermaet, whose 25-yard drive goes just wide.

A replay shows it hit a Swede's thigh on the way through and should have been a corner - but the officials say goal-kick.

I'd like to see the goal again from another angle, but it's VAR. That is what it's there for. The angle is on the grass and the last Belgium defender looked to me like she was a yard onside. A bit of a blow for Sweden.

Sweden down the left but Fridolina Rolfo overhits her cross into the box.

Into the 30th minute and it's 7-0 on shots - not counting the disallowed goal.

It definitely was tight. That's so difficult to take from a striker's perspective.

She did everything she could to stay onside, bent her run, but then had so much work still to do, very calm and cool and she thought she was on the score sheet but now she'll have to work even harder to get on there.

Speaking before the VAR decision...

They lose possession and it's one pass - Stina Blackstenius gets herself back onside and she uses her pace. Once she gets beyond the backline there's not much they can do.

It's a lovely placed finish - really cool, really calm. It's the first real chance, and a great finish.

The goal is disallowed after a VAR check. Stina Blackstenius was just offside as she made her run. And I mean just. Inches.

Huge let-off for Belgium.

But wait...?

We are 25% through the game. Sweden have a corner. Pinball in the box and Nathalie Bjorn, who is off balance, volleys over.

That was a world-class save from Evrard. I am not surprised. Her form in the tournament has been superb and kept her side in the game.
