    Golovin penalised for a high foot on Tielemans.
    7'
    Superb run by Golovin and he is found by Dzyuba. He is blocked off, but Belgium concede the first corner.
    6'
    Tielams finds Carrasco, who cuts inside to search for Lukaku, but the striker can't connect. Not the smoothest start from Belgium here.
    3'
    Belgium trying to stretch the play and unlock Castagne down the right, but he can't keep the ball in on the byline. Goal kick.
    2'
    Belgium are missing Axel Witsel tonight, too. Tielemans must step up.
    1'
    Barinov goes down with a head injury after a challenge by Lukaku. Russia kick it back to Belgium and we start again.
    1st Half

    Russia get us underway!
    19:59
    It may be 10pm local time, but kick off is moments away!
    19:55
    The players are in the tunnel. It feels so strange that this game, let alone the match in Copenhagen, is even going ahead.
    19:46
    Russia will be buoyed by the news that, as well as Hazard not starting, Kevin de Bruyne isn't fit enough to play. Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans are chief threats for Belgium.
    19:44
    As for Russia, they are hosting again after the World Cup three years ago. Home advantage could help them, but they'll need Aleksandr Golovin and Artem Dzyuba to perform if they are to make their mark.
    19:41
    I'm back now. Belgium are the number 1 ranked team in the world, despite not being favourites. They'll be under pressure before Roberto Martinez departs after the tournament.
    19:33
    I'll be balancing comments here with the rest of the match in Copenhagen. Bare with me.
    19:30
    Eden Hazard is on the bench for Belgium here. The Red Devils are among the favourites this summer, but surely they'll need the 30-year-old firing after a difficult season at Real Madrid. He certainly has a point to prove, but will have to wait.
    19:28
    Here is how Russia will look.
    19:26
    TEAM NEWS!
    This is how Belgium will line up tonight.
    19:24
    That game will resume soon, after players from both sides were consulted.
    19:23
    First and foremost, the thoughts of everyone at Eurosport are with Christian Eriksen and Denmark after the incident in Copenhagen earlier. He is now in a stable condition in hospital.
