Belgium v Slovakia live – European Championship Group E latest as Domenico Tedesco's men make their entry

Belgium aren't what they were and what they were wasn't all that good. But they ought to have had enough to win this match; they didn't, because Slovakia had a team of players playing the game of their lives.

Slovakia are there and they know they are. What a moment this almost is!

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERSTATE HOW WELL SLOVAKIA HAVE PLAYED TODAY

They've played as well as Romania did against Ukraine, and there can be no higher praise than that; their discipline, bravery and intensity have been first-rate.

Townsend noted that Tedesco brought Openda on 10 minutes too late. I guess that's the problem with options, as Garethg southgate is finding out: it's hard to know which one will work when.

Duda off, Obert on.

No side has won as improbably as Slovakia will do if they hang on; Belgium are third, Slovakia 48th. We The underdogs stand on the cusp of history, and the fiercest adrenaline rush any of them will ever have experienced. I am envious.

With just too much on it for Openda.

To save themselves.

NO GOAL!! BELGIUM 0-1 SLOVAKIA Romelu Lukaku has now had two goals ckalked off - just about correctly this second time. The handball was accidental but perceptible and effective in helping Openda lose Vavro.

We see soundwaves which prove ball-to-hand contact, it takes it away from Vavro, and this is going to be disallowed!

The ball might've brushed his hand as he ran through Vavro ... and the ref goes go the screen!

GOAL! BELGIUM 1-1 SLOVAKIA (LUKAKU) As I was saying! Tedesco has tried everything and it's Openda who gives him what he needs, chasing a long ball and beating Vavro for pace, skirting around his outside and cutting back for Lukaku to punch back whence it came. Salvation!

They'll be nervous, but there's no real sense they won't hang on.

Are attacking changes. But not like that! Lukebakio lunges, standing on Hancko's foot, and he's booked.

Off go Doku and Carrasco, on come Openda and Lukebakia.

Hnady for consuming tie, but the cross is a decent one, forcing Faes to head clear.

Duris replaces the goalscorer Schranz.

De Bruyne will take it, but I wonder why they're not trying an inswinger; he picks out Onana who's probably 12 yards back, and Schranz's challenge makes sure all he can do is head over.

Should they lose, you'd still back them to reach the knockouts, but this is a reminder of how far they are from where they'd like to be.
