    The sheer presence, power, quality and vocal presence of Lukaku effects the opposition knowing that he's on the pitch [if he is brought on]. The concentration levels would have to go even higher.

    The Morocco fans are whistling again.

    Kevin de Bruyne is getting frustrated. He's just had words with Amadou Onana.

    Getting into the latter stages of this first half, Morocco will probably be the happier of the sides. They just haven't been able to create any clear chances.

    Romelu Lukaku is warming up for Belgium.

    Roberto Martinez has said he's ahead of schedule in his recovery from a thigh injury but he thought today would come too soon.

    I imagine it is a case of "if we need you".

    Whipped onto the roof of the net from Kevin de Bruyne.

    Poor.

    Kevin de Bruyne wins Belgium a free-kick deep in the Morocco half.

    Will he finally see a quality delivery?

    Belgium are waiting for the right time. They're good at this, they don't mind. They can pick up the pace if they need to but the spaces aren't there at the moment because Morocco have gone into a really tight shape.

    The fact we're showing you some fancy footwork from Thibaut Courtois tells you all you need to know about this game.

    Still, enjoy.

    It was a brilliant run from Hakimi. It was just a little bit of movement that confused Thorgan Hazard and allowed him to get in.

    He did have a good look up to see if there was anyone to pick out, there wasn't so I don't blame him for taking the shot on.

    Morocco are getting more into the game and looking comfortable coming forward. Belgium need that goal to quieten the Moroccan fans.

    Prav

    Achraf Hakimi is a serious talent.

    The Paris St-Germain right-back gets in behind Thorgen Hazard. He looks up and contemplates a cross but then slices an effort well wide of the target.

    Wasteful.

    That was vintage Eden Hazard to start that attack. You could see what Thomas Meunier was trying to do, just feed the ball across the six-yard box but it was too close to the goalkeeper.

    Kevin de Bruyne drifts into the centre of midfield and passes the ball out wide for Thomas Meunier.

    He takes a touch and then crosses into the middle but it is an easy gather for Munir Mohamedi.

    We need some quality on the final ball, please guys.

    It's a late challenge on Eden Hazard. But he needs to find a way to get himself more in this game.

    Eden Hazard wins another foul on the half way line.

    He spoke about wanting "protection" after the first game and he's been fouled at least two or three times already today.

    Onana has been a decent addition to Everton's midfield. He's a handful but there are some flaws in his game, he is still raw.

    But Belgium really need him in this midfield. I like Tielemens but sometimes he is too easily bypassed and Onana really helped settle the midfield when he came on against Canada.

    This feels soft.

    A foul is given against Amadou Onana for an elbow as he looks to get up and win a header.

    A foul, yes, but a card? Harsh.

    The Everton man will miss Belgium's final group against Croatia.

    Better from Morocco.

    A dinked pass is headed back by Achraf Hakimi and an ambitious volley from Selim Amallah drifts harmlessly over the bar.

    saidmadrid: Why is Roberto Martínez insisting on playing Hazard? He is a shadow of the magic player he once was. Get Trossard on instead, and give the ball to De Bruyne.
