DISALLOWED GOAL

Yep, the goal is ruled out for offside.

Everything is coming up Dutch tonight.

HITS THE WOODWORK

So close! France midfielder N'Golo Kante crashes a fantastic effort off the post from 20 yards. Kasper Schmeichel was rooted to the spot.

Video Assistant Referee

Scratch that... this is going to get ruled out!

Batshuayi was just offside.

GOAL - Belgium 1-4 Netherlands

Belgium are on the board!

Substitute Michy Batshauyi is found in the box. His effort is saved but Timothy Castagne follows up to score.

SUBSTITUTION

France bring on Adrien Rabiot for Antoine Griezmann. Their first tactical change of the night after two injuries.

Antoine Griezmann shoots over from the free-kick.

This is beyond even a man as talented as Kevin de Bruyne now.

It won't stop the Man City player trying, though. His deflected shot from range is tipped over by Jasper Cillessen.

YELLOW CARD

Chop chop. France midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni steps past Victor Nelsson, who fouls him and is booked.

Denmark looked like they were never goijng to score a few minutes ago and they're on top now. An Andreas Skov Olsen drive produces a good save from Hugo Lloris.

GOAL - Belgium 0-4 Netherlands

It's a rout!

Memphis Depay gets his second goal of the night, finishing superbly after Daley Blind heads down Virgil van Dijk's chipped ball forward.

Awful defending, but the Dutch still had to capitalise.

They are blowing Belgium away.

GOAL - France 1-1 Denmark

Denmark are level.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg lifts a lovely ball over the top to Andreas Cornelius, who makes a nice run in behind the French defence.

He considers heading it but instead lets it drop and volleys it past Hugo Lloris.

Rare chance for Denmark in this second half as sub Rasmus Kristensen wildly lashes a shot well wide.

Get Involved

Willem Mevius: I like the Nations League, but I am not sure about the timing of these matches: most of the players look tired, which is no surprise after a full season. And there is no World Cup to prepare for this summer.

GOAL - Belgium 0-3 Netherlands

Game over!

Just moments after Jasper Cillessen produces a superb save to deny Leandro Trossard at one end, the Netherlands strike at the other to put this game beyond the home side.

Simon Mignolet palms away Steven Berghuis' shot from range but Daley Blind is first to the loose ball to cross for Denzel Dumfries to finish.

Croatia bring on Luka Modric. A bit too late you feel.

So much talent in this Belgium side. But time and again they just fall short. Usually they put themselves in a strong position to achieve something, though. Losing your first home game of a competition is never going to give you much of a chance.

SUBSTITUTION

Raphael Varane's day is over. William Saliba, who is an Arsenal player who has had three loan spells in Ligue 1, comes on for his third cap.

SUBSTITUTION

Denmark bring on Andreas Cornelius, Rasmus Kristensen and Mikkel Damsgaard for Daniel Wass, Jannik Vestergaard and Kasper Dolberg.

Belgium are now playing with a bit more intensity and are actually getting into some dangerous areas. But they may well have left it way too late.

France's Manchester United defender Raphael Varane goes down injured and the physios are on.

He hurt himself stretching to control a ball.
