'0 Belgian fans are flooding in to the stadium, Lukaku and Hazard stand in the center ready to kick off.

'7 An early attack from Belgium, Hazard curling the ball in to Mirallas, but the Everton player puts it narrowly wide.

'13 Hazard making his way up the left channel, taps it on the overlap to Pocognoli

'14 Pocognoli drills a cross in, Lukaku lunges forward... gets his head on it... GOAL! Lukaku's header drifts past the keeper and puts Belgium ahead!

'29 Belgium continue to hit Russia on the attack over and over again. This time, Hazard cuts in, shoots- parried away by Akinfeev.

'32 Mirallas collects the long ball, but can only header it to opponent, Nababkin, who tries to header it away

'33 Nababkin's header falls in to a dreadful position, Lukaku sprints in to it, tapping his foot up and volleying it... keeper is nowhere near it and it goes in unchallenged! Lovely goal!

'45+2 The whistle is blown, Belgium head in to the changing rooms with a spring in their step while the Russians look a little more dismal.

'46 The Russians kick off, several of their numbers bursting up the pitch

'60 Pogrebnyak's shot bounces off of Mignolet's gloves and flies behind for a corner

'62 The Russian corner flies in, but Kompany headers it away. Zhirkov collects, searching for a pass.

'63 Pavlyuchenko stands in clear space, receives Zhirkov's pass, turns and- launches the ball up at a strange angle-- is it going in? Off the bar... and IN!!! Russia score!

'65 Russia are really looking up for it now, on another promising attack. Zhirkov is bursting up the wing, looking for a pass.

'66 Zhirkov launches the cross in, but it's way too close to the keeper- oh no! The ball bounces off Mignolet's back and goes in! Equalizer for Russia! Terrible mistake from Mignolet!

'69 Russia are looking confident now, they have gone from being 2 goals down to level in a mtter of three minutes, another attack brews- this time, Izmailov puts it wide.

'85 The last twenty minutes have had little action, both teams having weak attacks that have been cut off well by the defence. Belgium are looking to go ahead. Oh, it looks like Lukaku is being subbed off, Ernest Nfor waiting by the sidelines. The Cameroonian born forward is making his debut.

'89 A late chance by Ernest Nfor- sends it near the top right, but Akinfeev stretches, making a wonderful save. Almost a debut goal.

'90+3 Final whistle blows, a draw in Leige.

Overall, it looked to be a fair result. Despite the fact that Belgium dominated the first half and gave Russia very little possession of the ball, the Russians made up in the second half, going from 2 goals down to level in a matter of 3 minutes. In the end, Belgium finished with more possession and more accurate shots, but only marginally. Lukaku was definitely the stand out performer, without him, Belgium probably wouldn't have took the lead.

'0 Croatian fans are roaring as the players walk out. This is expected to be Croatia's game, but only on paper. Anything can happen in football.

'1 Croatia kick off, straight away making their way up the pitch.

'13 Fellaini snatches possession in midfield, searching for a ball. Eden Hazard collects his pass and sprints up the edge of the field, careful not to let it go out. Pocognoli bursts in front of him. Hazard taps it on to Pocognoli, who is just onside.

'14 Pocognoli knocks the ball ahead... will it go out... no, he turns, crossing the ball in- a wonderful cross, bending in towards Mirallas, who heads it- it's going out, but Lukaku pounces, heading it again... GOAL! Belgium pull ahead against the odds!

'20 Croatia are really going for it now, but every time they whack it in Belgium manage to prevent it from entering the net.

'29 Modric knocks the ball up=field on the counter attack, Eduardo sprints forward, the defenders biting his dust, only the keeper to beat... he launches it, but Courtois jumps for it, managing to collect it up, throwing it to Vermaelen.

'45+3 The whistle blows after half an hour of Croatia domination. Chance after chance, but no goal. It is Belgium who remain in-front.

'46 Belgium kick off, passing back and making their way slowly up the pitch, unlike Croatia who seem to have a more speedy approach to the game, a sense of urgency, perhaps.

'66 Mandzukic chips a ball in to the crowded box... is it going to a Croatian... no- Alderweireld smashes the ball in a volley, it zooming across the pitch and out for a throw in past the halfway line.

'84 Belgium are truly withstanding a storm here. Croatia could score any minute now. They have had chance after chance, but every time they have either squandered the opportunity, or Belgium have knocked it back in to their half, away from danger.

'90 Any minute now, Belgium could earn the three points. Eduardo is making his way in to the box, shoots- Courtois hits it with his fist, the ball rocketing out of the danger area.

'90+3 The whistle blows, Croatia fans flooding out, disgruntled. The Belgium away fans stay to cheer their team who seem both joyous and exhausted. Mbo Mpenza walks on to the field to congratulate the team.

This was a very interesting game, as Croatia defiantly controlled possession, had the majority of chances and for the most part, looked the better side, however, this does not mean they deserved to win it. Belgium snatched themselves an early goal and then focused on keeping the ball away from the back of their net, they achieved this and went away with the result, happily, and perhaps deservedly. Pocognoli was man of the match, and, after his wonderful assist and some good defensive play, he was worthy of the title.
