21:48
WHAT IT MEANS
So that is a first win of the campaign for Belgium, but their goal difference is boosted greatly following that 4-1 defeat to Holland on match day one. They join Poland on three points, but obviously the visitors' goal difference goes the other way
End of 2nd Half
90+3'
FULL-TIME: BELGIUM 6-1 POLAND
Wow! Five second half goals from the hosts and what a hammering they dished out. A resounding response to that 4-1 defeat to Holland last week
90+3'
GOAL! ANOTHER!
Openda receives a beautiful through-ball from Thorgan Hazard and clips home his first, Belgium's sixth! This has been a battering!

CASH FIRES OVER
Matty Cash brings the ball down brilliantly and gets it on to his left foot, but lashes high and wide
90+3'
INTO ADDED TIME
Three minutes added on, which is more than enough for Poland, who just want this to end now
88'
POLAND PUSHING
The visitors have a couple of late chances after some poor defending, but it's Mignolet to the rescue
85'

GOAL! THERE'S THE FIFTH!
Belgium are making this embarrassing now. Dendoncker, denied earlier, gets the fifth, a smashing 25-yard effort that arrows into the far bottom corner

WHAT A GOAL!
Oh. My. Days. That is sublime! Trossard grabs another, picking the ball up near the corner of the box, and he floats an unbelievable curling effort into the top corner. 4-1!

BELGIUM SAUNTERING ALONG
That Trossard goal really has put the game to bed. They're dropped their tempo, but justifiably so, and are keeping Poland at an arm's length
75'
DE BRUYNE WITHDRAWN
De Bruyne has been the best player on the pitch by a country mile, but his night is over. He's replaced by Charles De Ketelaere

GOAL! TROSSARD DOUBLES THE LEAD!
He's only been on the pitch a couple of minutes, but Trossard makes it 3-1 as he dips and ducks inside the penalty area before coolly slotting home, via a deflection. Superb stuff.

BRILLIANT DRAGOWSKI SAVE
Hazard beautifully clips the ball through his own legs in the penalty area before seeing his rasping shot pushed away. It's all Belgium at the moment
59'
GOAL! BELGIUM ARE AHEAD!
The hosts take the lead for the first time as Hazard squares to an unmarked De Bruyne, and the Manchester City man just curls it past the 'keeper as if it's the easiest thing in the world. 2-1 to Belgium
