1 min: And that's the whistle! Belgium in white get things underway. Hungary in red.
2 min: Belgium surge down that left-hand side and Hazard looks for the one-two with Nainggolan but the central player overcooks the return ball which shoots out for a Hungary throw-in.
4 min: Promising start for Belgium as De Bruyne lands the first shot from outside the Hungary box. It's a rising effort though and soars over the bar.
7 min: First corner of the match for Belgium after Lukaku's shot on goal from within the six-yard box is blocked by the man below. It's pumped in by Kevin de Bruyne to Witsel who brings it down with his chest but is immediately pounced on by the Hungary defence. Guzmics gets hold of the ball and boots the danger away.
GOAL! Hungary 0-1 Belgium (Alderweireld, 9 min): It's bread and butter stuff for Belgium. De Bruyne is awarded a free-kick after being brought down inside the Hungarian final third and steps up himself to deliver the ball into the box. Both Lukaku and Alderweireld race unmarked to meet the ball but it's the defender who gets their first to fire the ball into the back of the net with a powerful header. Simple stuff.
