    Canada have run themselves into the ground. They're all out of juice.

    Five minutes of stoppage time. Belgium are going to have to work to the very last second if they want these three points.

    If you're wondering what happened to that Canada corner, it was...awful.

    Corner to Canada. Up goes another roar from the stands. They're giving this a right good go.

    Canada are having one of those games where they could have 40 attempts on goal and still not score.

    The World Cup is only a few days old but we've already had loads of late drama. Will we see any here? Two minutes plus stoppages.

    Canada are almost two goals ahead in the xG stakes.

    They're only on 0.33 for the second half - which is still considerably better than Belgium's 0.06.

    De Bruyne has just been slightly off it today. He sets such high standards. He is human.

    Space is opening up as Canada tire. Kevin de Bruyne is driving towards goal before taking a punt from about 20 yards. High and wide.

    It's not been one of his better games.

  12. 'Bad challenge'published at 20:45 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2022

    It's a bad challenge from Johnston, he got caught out and he just lunges in. He was just desperately trying to stop the counter attack and he hacked down his man.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 82 mins

    Belgium 1-0 Canada

    The referee is being kept busy in the closing stages. After Alphonso Davies is booked for a foul, Alistair Johnston produces an ugly challenge from behind on Lois Openda. Out comes another yellow.

    Everything about that move was brilliant, the first moment of proper quality from Canada. But Courtois just plucked it out of the air. That's what the best goalkeepers do, they make difficult saves look easy.

    So close!

    A header by Cyle Larin is heading for the net but Thibaut Courtois stretches to pluck it out of the air.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 78 mins

    Belgium 1-0 Canada

    Samuel Adekugbe has come on for Canada, while goalscorer Michy Batshuayi has made way for Lois Openda.

    Cyle Larin creates space for himself inside the box but cannot control the ball when it lands at his feet. More frustration for Canada.

    Canada have just lost their way a little bit in this game. We're not seeing as much of Alphonso Davies anymore. The whole game has just got a bit scrappy actually.

    Belgium 1-0 Canada

    Canada are tiring but there is still time for a twist.

    They have failed to score in all their previous three World Cup matches (all in the 1986 group phase). The only two teams to remain goalless in each of their first four World Cup games are Bolivia (5, 1930-1994) and Greece (4, 1994-2010).
