26th Jun 2024, 18:09By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

48. The second half has begun in a similar vein to the first.

Twenty-one players are slugging it out in the shadow of Kevin De Bruyne, whose magic continues to light the place up.

Kick-off - Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

46. Synched up with the restart in Frankfurt, this Group E encounter in Stockholm is underway for the second half.

Neither side has made a half-time change so it's the same line-ups that started who will endeavour to break the deadlock.

First half facts and figures

Half-time - Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

It's as you were in Group E.

Goalless here and level in Frankfurt, all four sides in the group are on four points.

Romania, Belgium and Slovakia are heading through as it stands, but Ukraine need something to happen - and we wouldn't be against something happening here either.

26th Jun 2024, 17:49By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

45. There will be just a further two minutes to be played here in Stuttgart before we go in for the break.

It will come at a welcome time for both teams, who ideally need to regroup and refocus.

26th Jun 2024, 17:47By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium - Faes yellow card

43. Wout Faes is never far from a defensive disaster-class and he's the first player in Anthony Taylor's book this evening,

The Leicester centre-back is cautioned for a needless chop on Yaremchuk.

26th Jun 2024, 17:46By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

41. Big chance for Ukraine!

Dovbyk finds himself through inside the box, but rather than shooting, he decides to square across goal to his closely-marked teammate Dovbyk in the middle.

Too powerful and with too much pace, the cross whizzes across the six-yard box and out.

26th Jun 2024, 17:44By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

39. Ouch! Onana lands his studs on Sudakov's ankle as they challenge for the ball.

The collision sends the young Ukrainian to the floor in agony, but Anthony Taylor waves play on and allows Belgium to attack.

The referee eventually blows up to pause the game, but it would have been interesting to see what would have happened had the Red Devils taken advantage.

26th Jun 2024, 17:42By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

37. Razvan Marin has belted in a penalty in Frankfurt to equalise for Romania, and it means Group E is back to how it was.

Ukraine are now at the bottom on four points, facing elimination while teams on three points in other groups go through.

26th Jun 2024, 17:40By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

35. Casteels makes a routine stop to deny Sudakov.

You get the impression that the first goal here will be a big moment in this contest.

26th Jun 2024, 17:39By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

33. De Bruyne goes for goal from the free-kick! Side netting!

The Belgium captain gives it some of his best Joe Bryan as both sets of players expecting a cross..

With Trubin off his line and away from his near post, De Bruyne whips a shot towards the bottom corner that has the goalkeeper scrambling back to his line.

The desperate dive looks in vain until the ball nestles into the net the wrong side of the post.

26th Jun 2024, 17:36By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

31. Kevin De Bruyne stands over a free-kick out on the right touchline, 20 yards inside the Ukraine half.

The penalty area is packed awaiting its delivery, but the set-piece is held up as the Belgium midfielder is the target of a green laser pen being shone from the crowd.

Anthony Taylor comes across to the touchline to inform the relevant authorities.

26th Jun 2024, 17:33By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

29. Now Yaremchuk has a go with a wayward effort.

If the Ukraine attack could match the composure shown by the defence, then they would be causing some real problems for Belgium.

26th Jun 2024, 17:31By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

27. Ukraine are getting a grip on this game all of a sudden.

Dovbyk bursts through, but doesn't have the pace to get beyond Faes; instead, he holds it up and feeds Sudakov, who balloons over from long range.

26th Jun 2024, 17:29By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

25. Well, well, well...

As Kevin De Bruyne fails to win a corner due to a double deflection, news of a goal in Frankfurt filters through.

Ondrej Duda has headed Slovakia in front against Romania which means they have hit the top of Group E.

As it stands, Ukraine would progress in third place.

26th Jun 2024, 17:26By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

23. Midway through the first half and it's also goalless between Slovakia and Romania.

With both teams only needing a draw there, I suspect nothing whatsoever of note has happened.

26th Jun 2024, 17:25By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

21. Another attempt for Ukraine!

Quick passes and slick movement opens up an opportunity for Dovbyk on his left foot, but he doesn't connect with any real conviction and it trundles wide.

26th Jun 2024, 17:23By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

19. Yaremchuk stings the hands of Casteel!

After all of Belgium's pretty build-up, Ukraine cut through them with two passes.

Turning into space, the striker spots a gap and unleashes a 25-yarder that the keeper gathers at the second attempt.

26th Jun 2024, 17:21By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

17. Belgium are applying more and more pressure, but the Ukraine defence - a five today instead of a four - are sticking to their task.

The frustration subsequently creeps into the Belgian's game with a breakdown in communicate between Theate and Doku.

26th Jun 2024, 17:18By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

15. The Ukraine defence stand up to successive Belgium corners, and then consider mounting their own attack.

The Red Devils have bossed possession in the opening quarter of an hour, registering 69%.

26th Jun 2024, 17:16By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

13. Panic stations for Ukraine.

De Bruyne seizes upon a loose touch from Brazhko, and tries to immediately play in Lukaku.

Svatok throws himself at the pass to cut it off, and inadvertently ends up looping it up over his own goalkeeper and - thankfully - the crossbar.

26th Jun 2024, 17:13By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

11. Doku is face down on the grass again, this time after being tripped by Zabarnyi.

Meanwhile, Ukraine are finding themselves pushed further and further back with most of their possession being played between their goalkeeper and his defence.

26th Jun 2024, 17:11By Sam Dymond

Ukraine 0-0 Belgium

9. Doku has been on the receiving end of two heavy challenges already, most recently from Tymchyk.

The cuts and bruises haven't yet deterred the winger from his silky skills and fancy flicks.
