Key events
Half time: Portugal 0-1 Belgium
Wullaerts’ early goal is the difference but both teams are heading out of the tournament.
45+3 mins: Tatiana Pinto sends a wonderful ball over the top and Cayman completely misjudges it, allowing Capeta through one-on-one but her finish is well saved by the goalkeeper.
45 mins: Five minutes added on.
44 mins: Portugal are controlling play at the moment. The next step is to actually test the goalkeeper. Belgium will be happy for half time to arrive.
42 mins: It is another shot from Marcao but it flashes wide. A cross may have been a better idea.
40 mins: Portugal are enjoying a first spell of consistent pressure but that is alleviated by an errant pass going out for a goal kick.
Belgium keep trying to pass it out from the back but it is not particularly effective.
38 mins: Marchao takes matter into her own hands and rifles off a shot from 30 yards, which is deflected wide.
36 mins: Marchao lives a lovely pass over the Belgian defence and it looks like Nazareth will latch onto it but there is just too much pace on it.
34 mins: Blom is put onto a stretcher. I think she fell awkwardly, causing a twist in the knee or similar. She is applauded, with her hands covering her face.
Detruyer replaces her.
32 mins: Blom is down in a lot of pain and plenty of medical staff have come to her aid.
30 mins: Diana Silva gets in behind the Belgium defence and sends a weak shot/cross towards the near post. It should not cause any problems, although Lichtfus has other ideas, spilling the ball out. Her blushes are spared thanks to a bad touch from Capeta.
Gomes is booked.
28 mins: Portugal have a free-kick on the left. Nazareth swings it in and Diana Gomes earns herself a great chance but completely miscues the finish, sending the ball well wide from six yards.
26 mins: Portugal do well again in possession and they try to create something on the right before Amado loses the ball Toloba looks to take it clear but is fouled.
24 mins: Portugal work a promising position but then the pass goes straight out of play.
22 mins: Portugal are not in this match at the moment. They, once again, look very meek. They were good in the final 20 minutes against Italy when they upped their intensity and aggression, but have reverted to type.
20 mins: A poor clearance from Costa sends the ball straight up in the air. Morais comes out to punch but incredibly flappy fashion. She need not worry as the referee takes pity on her and awards a free-kick.
18 mins: Belgium have a corner on the left. Wullaert takes it but the ball basically goes straight out of play.
Diana Silva has a shot from about 30 yards but there is no power in it and the goalkeeper puts her hat on it.
16 mins: Teulings is basically allowed to run the ball back all the way to her own goalkeeper without being challenged. Portugal need to up it here.
14 mins: Spain have levelled against Italy. That is the battle for top spot.
Follow that here.
12 mins: Wullaert cuts in from the left and almost plays the perfect pass through the eye of a needle but it about two inches in front of Vanhaevermaet and she cannot control it.
10 mins: Italy are beating Spain …
So at the moment, Portugal are going out regardless. Not exactly gripping stuff.
8 mins: Belgium seem to be the more relaxed team, aided by the knowledge they have nothing of note to play for.
6 mins: Portugal get up the pitch for the first time. Nazareth gets into the box but cannot muster a chance after being crowded out.
A corner is won and is punched behind for another by Lichtfus.
GOAL! Janssens gets down the right and sends in a low cross. Wullaert times her run perfectly and slides in, poking the ball into the corner. Is this group done and dusted?
GOAL! Portugal 0-1 Belgium (Wullaert, 3)
That’s a fine finish!
2 mins: Belgium make the early running and Vanhaevermaet has a good chance, heading a cross towards goal which Morais does well to hold onto.
Kick off

Preamble
The equation is not particularly easy for Portugal. They need to beat Belgium and hope Spain do the same to Italy. To make matters more complicated, they need a six-goal swing to move into second. How hard can it be?
Portugal were pretty underwhelming in their first match, getting a bit of a shooing by Spain and followed that up with 70 meek minutes against Italy before coming to life as they chased a goal. They need to keep the momentum gained in those latter stages, be more direct and aggressive to give themselves a chance here.
Belgium are playing for pride and – to a lesser extent – to help out Italy. Spain will be more than happy to steamroller the Italians, so the margins could be tight come the end of 90 minutes.
Kick-off: 8pm BST
