    MISS! What a chance for Robson-Kanu to double Wales' advantage! Ramsey and the forward play a one-two, Ramsey strikes a shot which is saved by the goalkeeper but the ball falls kindly to Robson-Kanu who somehow shoots wide of the goal.

    Allen is booked for a foul on Hazard on the edge of the box. He'll miss the next match.

    Well, who saw that coming? Wales have been under the cosh from the start of the game but their star man has put them in front.

    GOAL! Gareth Bale puts Wales in front on his 50th appearance! Belgium fail to deal with the free-kick delivery, the ball falls to the unmarked Bale at the back post who volleys a shot between the legs of Courtois and into the back of the net.
    23'
    Now Robson-Kanu wins a free-kick by the corner flag after Denayer needlessly fouls him.
    22'
    Robson-Kanu chases and harries to put Courtois under all kinds of pressure when collecting a back pass and the Chelsea goalkeeper can only boot it high into the stands. Wales have been a little better in recent minutes.
    20'
    Taylor produces a disappointing cross from the flank straight into the arms of Courtois. He had plenty of team mates in support.
    19'
    The Belgian fans who are in Cardiff are making a great noise.
    17'
    Bale, now on the opposite flank, collects possession and looks to beat Denayer for pace but the Belgian successfully wins the ball, despite the Welsh fans looking for a free-kick.
    15'
    Wales fans: "You're just a **** Gareth Bale" at Hazard. Not sure about that.

    OVER! Belgium form a really good team move on the edge of Wales' box as the home defence watches on, the ball falls to Hazard who volleys over the bar. Wales are living dangerously.
    12'
    Belgium have had 67 per cent of possession so far.

    SAVE! Nainggolan almost opens the scoring for Belgium with a low and powerful shot towards the bottom corner but Hennessey does well to push the ball wide.
    10'
    STAT: Belgium have conceded just one goal in their last five competitive matches.
    8'
    Mertens delivers a high cross into the Wales penalty area but it's too close to Hennessey who collects and then almost drops the ball! He, and Wales, hold on however.
    7'
    Ramsey's corner is delivered high into the penalty area and finds Robson-Kanu but the forward can't direct his header on target.
    6'
    But Wales have a corner through the magic of Bale who collects the ball in his own half and sprints the length of the pitch before seeing his attempted cross blocked.
