Belgium vs France LIVE: Nations League semi-final result, final score and reaction tonight

43 mins: Two goals in three minutes has rattled France but Belgium have been slowly asserting their dominace since the 25 minute mark. Roberto Martinez’s men now have a foot in the Nations League final and France have to come up with a response.

40 mins: They’re in complete control now! Hazard starts the move again from his central position by giving it to Witsel and making a run into the box. Witsel gives the ball to De Bruyne who looks for Hazard before slotting a through ball in for Lukaku instead. The weight of the pass is just enough to allow Lukaku to spin away from Lucas Hernandez and blast his effort past Lloris from a narrow angle.

37 mins: Belgium break the deadlock! Roberto Martinez made a slight change to the formation asking Eden Hazard to come more central allowing Yannick Carrasco space higher up the pitch. He makes use of it by collecting the ball out wide on bringing it in from the left. Carrasco dips a shoulder and cuts back onto his right foot before hitting a low shot at the near post. Lloris is expecting a shot across goal and is wrongfooted as the ball sneaks past him to finish in the back of the net. Lovely finish.

33 mins: Mbappe tries to weave his way into the middle of the box but doesn’t get past Denayer and Belgium take over the ball. This has been a good period for Belgium. They’re maintaining possession and probing at a solid France defence. They look comfortable but aren’t creating many chances.

30 mins: Penalty shout for Belgium. Witsel and De Bruyne slowly work the ball over on the left wing before De Bruyne knocks it inside to Lukaku. Hazard makes a run between the lines and Lukaku flicks the ball into the box for him. He’s about to shoot as Kounde dives across him. The pair collide but Kounde wins the ball and pokes it clear. Great tackle.

27 mins: Mbappe drives France forward on the break after Benzema dispossess Witsel in midfield. Mbappe flies past Toby Alderweireld but is met by Jason Denayer covering behind and the defender boots the ball out of play.

24 mins: Belgium try to play out from the back but Youri Tielemans gets caught on the ball by a pressing Paul Pogba. Belgium close ranks quickly though and France can’t find a way into the box. The ball comes to Theo Hernandez on the inside left and his shot is blocked by Tielemans, making up for his earlier error.

21 mins: Nice play. Karim Benzema collects the ball on the left side and floats a good cross over to Pavard on the opposite wing. He heads the ball into the nox where Antoine Griezmann flicks it on to Mbappe. Mbappe hits a shot on the volley and forces Courtois into a save low to his left.

18 mins: France respond with a decent sweeping move of their own but the final ball is poor from Adrien Rabiot. His little flick over the top is too heavy and the ball skips out for a goalkick.

15 mins: Brutal. Belgium break on a counter-attack with Lukaku feeding Castagne down the right wing. He chases down the ball but has a problem in the shape of Theo Hernandez. The French wingback breezes across the pitch and hits Castagne with a solid shoulder barge knocking the right-back clean off his feet.
