Play stopped as Chadli receives treatment for a problem. He's only just come on too.

CLOSE! Chadli almost makes an instant impact. His deflected cross-shot on the left side of the box loops into the air but just misses Lukaku's head as he rose to try and nod it home.

69'
Insigne has a pop from a similar position to where he scored in the first period but he can't get the height his time and Courtois fumbles it clear.
68'
Immobile peels free on the far left of the area but falls over trying an acrobatic shot from the right-wing cross.
67'
That Belgium chance...
65'
CLOSE! Spinazzola finds himself deep in Belgium territory but can't guide his shot on target.
63'
61'
HOW? Belgium should be level. Spinazzola somehow gets his leg in the way to deny Lukaku a tap-in at the far post after Doku and de Bruyne had carved Italy open on the left.
59'
57'
Doku continues to be Belgium's main threat. His pace and directness is causing Italy some concern on that left side,. He goes on another run and only the referee knows how it isn't a free kick when it takes two to halt him by the touchline.
55'
CLOSE! Doku darts beyond a challenge and gets to that left byline. He fizzes a low ball towards the near post but no red shirt is there and Donnarumma survives fumbling it to safety.
53'
52'
No sign of Belgium as an attacking force as of yet in this half. How long until Martinez turns to the bench?
50'
DID YOU KNOW? Italy’s three most recent quarter-final appearances have all been decided by a penalty shoot-out - losing to Spain in 2008, beating England in 2012 and losing to Germany in 2016.

Italy making the very early running at the start of this second period. Chiesa slides into a shot on the stretch on the edge of the box but can't guide it on target.
