USA v Belgium LIVE: Hosts slipping towards exit despite Balogun involvement after Trump intervention

49’ – Richards tries to meet a loose ball about 40 yards from goal and, inexplicably, sends it out for a goal kick.

48’ – The USA shape remains the same for now following that change.

And we are back underway in Seattle.

The players are on their way back out and the US will be making one change with Reyna ready to come on for Dest.

51’ – Dest feeds Balogun and he races clear, shooting diagonally only for Ngoy to make a smart block. Pulisic sends the corner straight into Courtois’ hands.

And that is the interval.

48’ – Trossard wins a corner off Freeman. It’s taken short and ends with Lukebakio dragging a shot wide.

45’ – A long throw causes brief havoc in the Belgian box as Balogun’s poke towards goal goes over. The referee initially signals for a corner but it is overturned for a goal kick.

There will be six added minutes.

42’ – Richards fouls Vanaken. More boos but it’s the right call.

De Cuyper swings the free kick in from the left and Lukebakio should really do much better than heading harmlessly wide having met it in space.

41’ – Belgium remain dominant – their only blemish an unfortunately deflected free kick concession – and not many will have seen it coming considering how tepid they had been until this stage.

39’ – Richards cuts out a corner. Tielemans takes it low, it gets a touch through a cluster of bodies near the front post and almost creeps in before Freese gets down to save.
