00:00First of all I'm going to be annoyed but then we're going to try to find the solutions and I
00:03think the solution is to talk about why we couldn't come out from the back, it's because of the pressure,
00:11the good pressure from the Canadian team, so you need to find the solutions and I think today they have
00:16an opportunity to do so.
00:18Well the team, excuse me I've got a frog in my throat at the moment, the teams are coming out
00:28as you can see, let's join our commentary team whilst I'm going to get a glass of water, Jermaine Genas
00:32and Guy Mowbray, help me Guy.
00:37Thank you Mark, and good afternoon to all, welcome to the middle section of Group E, which wasn't the group
00:44of goals in the first games, only two scored, and it has the curiosity of the leaders, Belgium arguably having
00:51put in the worst performance of all the four teams, incredibly fortunate against Canada, they'll need to look much more
00:59like the team, officially ranked as Europe's best against Morocco, who were impressive
01:03in drawing with Croatia, teams coming up, first the national anthems.
01:40We'll see you next time.
02:19And now, please remain standing for the playing of the national anthem of Morocco.
02:25.
02:26.
02:26.
02:26.
02:26.
02:27.
02:27.

02:30.
03:23CHOIR SINGS
03:41Wow, it's another warm day in Doha, but I just got a shiver.
03:46Are we in Catara, are we in Casablanca or Rabat?
03:52A huge noise from a sizable contingent of Morocco supporters.
04:02No doubt who's effectively from the crowd got home advantage.
04:09And so to Belgium.
04:11Roberto Martinez has made three changes to his team from the Canada game.
04:15With Thomas Mounier, Thorgan Hazard and Amadou Onana coming in to start.
04:20It is just a fourth international appearance for the Everton midfielder.
04:25He's a baby in this side, aged just 21.
04:28Leander Dendonka, Yuri Tielemans and Yannick Carrasco are the trio to drop out.
04:32Romelu Lukaku still not fit to start.
04:35So Michi Batshuayi goes again.
04:38Loving himself his 50th international count.
04:51The Atlas Lions are now roaring from the start.
04:58The referee.
05:01Can we get a look at him and not Haydn Hazard's back?
05:06He's waiting patiently.
05:09For his...
05:12opposite number.
05:16For the coin toss and...
05:19Where has Yassin Bono gone?
05:24First of all, they're going to have their obligatory photo, and then...
05:28Hazard can meet the Morocco captain.
05:37And it's Romain Seis.
05:40Former Wolves defender.
05:44And as I said, Cesar Ramos is the referee.
05:47Game two of the tournament for the Mexican.
05:49He had Denmark 0-0, Tunisia 0-0 on Tuesday.
06:02The VAR head honcho.
06:04And it's his compatriot, Fernando Guerrero.
06:13Morocco's team is the same one that started against Croatia with...
06:16Vitally important full-backs, Ashraf Hakimi and Nusay and Masraoui.
06:21Both team took OK to go again.
06:23Masraoui came off against Croatia with a hip injury.
06:26It's a special game for Belgian born and bred.
06:29Salim Amelar of Standard Liège.
06:31On the front three of Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech.
06:34Former Southampton man, Sofjan Bouval.
06:36And spearheaded by Youssef N. Naziri of Sevilla.
06:39Overall, it is an 11 of real quality.
06:43The only real question possibly being about the depth of the Morocco squad.
06:51Jermaine Ginas is alongside me for this one.
06:56Jermaine, you were slightly taken aback by that Morocco national anthem too.
06:59Incredible.
07:00It really is.
07:00I think the atmosphere in here is just electric.
07:02The Morocco fans have just taken over this stadium.
07:05And it's going to have a factor in the game as well.
07:07These players are going to be well up for this.
07:10They need a win.
07:11They want a win.
07:12And I watched a Belgian side that struggled in that first game.
07:15It's going to be interesting to see how those scores react to this pressure
07:18these fans are going to put on them.
07:2410, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
07:33So it's Belgium in red, Morocco in white
07:36for what is Belgium's 50th game at the World Cup Finals.
07:40Twice beaten in the semi-finals is their best effort,
07:43including in Russia last time.
07:45And they're facing a nation that has only won twice ever
07:50in 18 World Cup games now.
07:57De Bruyne.
07:59There's Batshuayi.
08:02Medan Azar.
08:04Their brother, Torgan, waiting wide.
08:07And it's Ziyech
08:09who has the ball to complete the Chelsea connection.
08:11And on he goes.
08:13And he's got support in the middle from him, Naziri.
08:16Had to be a better ball.
08:18Easy enough for Courtois.
08:20But watch Ziyech go right from the start.
08:22Yeah, well, it's a good run from Ziyech,
08:23but I think it is a foul
08:25on Timothy Castagna.
08:28These are the things that
08:30they're going to have to deal with.
08:32The referee's going to be under immense pressure
08:35throughout this whole game.
08:40Directed by Unana.
08:42Unana was left sprawling.
08:45The referee's given the decision
08:46for the second challenge
08:47that came in on Eden Hazard.
09:05In the ageing squad at 35.
09:13Get in by Meunier.
09:18Seven of the starting eleven
09:19are in their thirties.
09:29Alderweinelt.
09:32And the Tongan to Castagne.
09:41What is it that Belgium
09:42need to do better,
09:44particularly from that first game, Jermaine?
09:45Well, already it's a different type of game.
09:47You can see they're going to be facing
09:49that Canada side
09:50were in their faces.
09:51They were aggressive
09:52in the challenge
09:53and in the press.
09:54And they didn't know
09:55what to quite do with it.
09:56Whereas
09:57Morocco
09:58look like they're going to be playing
09:59much more of a mid to low block
10:01trying to frustrate Belgium.
10:03So they're going to have to try
10:04and pick their ways
10:05but essentially
10:06they're going to have to try
10:07and get their best players
10:07on the ball,
10:08move the ball a lot quicker
10:09and create chances
10:10and they were just very sluggish
10:12in that first game.
10:16Now the arch chance creator
10:18in Kevin De Bruyne
10:19who
10:20was a little embarrassed
10:21to pick up the man of the match
10:22on us
10:23after that first game.
10:26Here's Ennisiri.
10:29And there is De Bruyne
10:31winning the ball back
10:32but it was only temporary
10:33and the Morocco striker
10:35Ennisiri is down
10:36and has his arm in the air
10:37indicating he needs some treatment.
10:39He's holding his head.
10:44I don't know whether
10:45there's just a clash.
10:48Took a little bat
10:49from De Bruyne.
10:50Yeah.
10:51Not intentional.
10:56But I have to say
10:57from Belgium's point of view
10:59I kind of already like
11:00what Roberto Martinez
11:01has done
11:02with his side
11:03bringing in
11:04Onano
11:04who made a big difference
11:05in that second half
11:06and also
11:07that right hand side
11:08of Morocco
11:09is very influential
11:10with Ziyech and Hakimi
11:11with the pace that they have
11:12so he's kind of matched that
11:13with some youth
11:14and some pace
11:14and some energy
11:16with Castagne
11:17and Torgan Hazard.
11:18He knew that was going to be
11:19a key factor
11:20I think in the game
11:20so it's going to be
11:21really interesting
11:22to see how that battle
11:23down that right hand side
11:24plays out.
11:25That's where it's going again.
11:27Starting off
11:28on the Morocco
11:29right and drifted in.
11:31Here's Bouffal.
11:38Ziyech.
11:44Morocco fans enjoyed that.
11:46The coach will have
11:48rather more enjoyed the cross.
11:51Amraba.
11:57Amraba.
11:58Back with Saiz.
12:01And the former man
12:02from Molyneux
12:03is on the march here.
12:08De Bruyne.
12:11Missed by Batshuayi.
12:15Nice little layoff for him
12:16this time to Aidan Hazard.
12:18Here's Torgan Hazard.
12:20Through for Batshuayi.
12:22Well-timed run.
12:23Met by a well-timed advance
12:25from Bonner.
12:27That looked pretty simple
12:28for Belgium to get in behind.
12:30It was slick.
12:30That's why they moved
12:31the ball quick.
12:32And the ball from
12:33Torgan Hazard
12:34just matched
12:35the brilliance of the run
12:36actually from Batshuayi
12:38on that occasion.
12:40I don't think that's even
12:41going on target
12:41but
12:42the thought process
12:43between the
12:45the play of it all
12:46was much better.
12:54instructions for
12:56Onana
12:57from Wattongen.
13:01Master to a relative
13:02apprentice.
13:08Onana is a real tower in there.
13:15He's flicked behind
13:16for another corner.
13:17It was a Morocco head
13:17that got to that.
13:21Well, he had to be.
13:21Just keep your eye
13:22on Onana
13:23at the back post.
13:24It would have been a moment
13:25where he thought
13:26this might just come to him.
13:28It would have been
13:29a really good defensive
13:30head up.
13:34Torgan Hazard
13:34to take it.
13:39getting really tight
13:40in that box
13:40so that
13:41other players
13:42can't mark you.
13:42You can't get
13:43two-touch tight to you
13:44in these runs
13:44you don't know
13:45where the player's
13:45going to go.
13:46Could throw a blanket
13:47over those eight.
13:49In from Torgan Hazard.
13:53It's Castanje's touch.
13:56Eden Hazard.
13:57Brother Torgan
13:58takes it
13:59and it bounces
13:59away off his chest.
14:04Roberto Martinez
14:05will be
14:07happier with this.
14:08He did talk about
14:08controlling the game
14:09and being ourselves
14:10from the first second.
14:17Ziyech.
14:20Touch back
14:21from Amelard.
14:26Buffal.
14:37Winahe.
14:40Tongan had to stretch
14:41to get there.
14:43Eden Hazard.
14:46Little pinked
14:47pass through to
14:47Witzel.
14:49And here's Torgan
14:50Hazard.
14:50Pat Shuaie on the move
14:51in the middle.
14:53It wasn't a route
14:54to him.
15:12Tobey I'll divide out.
15:31it's good from Belgium this
15:33he's got to keep the ball
15:34you can hear the fans quite clearly
15:36the constant whistles
15:39best way to keep them quiet
15:40is just to keep the ball
15:43it's back to Courtois
15:45which wasn't the plan
15:46but keeping it up and around
15:48halfway just trying to draw
15:50some in white out towards them
15:52to leave a gap
15:59as we've seen with many games
16:01already at this World Cup
16:02patience can be a virtue
16:06watching and playing
16:13we'll run away from Meunier
16:15who liked the idea
16:17whilst acknowledging that he's not that rapid
16:19I think we can call him our Roberto
16:26the Spaniard who's an honorary Belgian
16:29Scotsman, Welshman and Englishman
16:30all at once
16:57Munier
16:58well Jamal
17:01are incidentally on the cusp of a record
17:04there are all manner of records to be broken at every World Cup
17:07but they've won all of their last eight group games
17:12nine would be out on their own
17:15at the top of the list
17:16Brazil have done eight in a row twice
17:19it's only a minor record
17:21but it's another one for the sheet
17:22it's another one for the rest of the world
17:32went through to De Bruyne
17:36and Romain Saez was all over him
17:39and that's going to be a free kick for Belgium
17:41he's so good at this De Bruyne
17:42he takes touches where sometimes you think he's not favourite
17:46but his upper body strength is just so strong
17:49that he can get his body back into a position
17:52where you just have to foul him
17:55took the full weight of Saez there too
17:59I think this is where Morocco might struggle
18:01we're going to have to make a decision about
18:03sitting off this side
18:05they've got too many good footballers
18:06where if you give them this kind of space
18:08they will just pop you off
18:10one by one
18:11lovely little passes into holes
18:14where Hazard is and Kevin De Bruyne
18:16at some point they're going to have to engage a bit more
18:22there's a little doubt who's going to take this
18:41you know what to expect
18:42usually from a De Bruyne delivery
18:45yeah it's coming in with pace
18:47and the quality
18:57lifted in
19:01this is Eden Hazard
19:05Hazard can't go any further
19:07but it will be a throw in for Belgium
19:26what a great deal of movement for Torgan Hazard
19:31his brother was switched onto his wavelength though
19:34and he's got Belgium a corner
19:40only a little
19:41but the Morocco supporters have been slightly quietened
19:56and Bono has it taken away from him
19:59just slapped Romain Saïs on the back but he didn't want him to do that
20:04another corner coming
20:05and he finished it to Saïs he's just got to make a decision here
20:09he can't afford to second guess himself
20:11and wait for the keeper if he feels it's got to go
20:14as a defender you just do it
20:15you can argue about it afterwards
20:27Torgan Hazard that's a good corner
20:29De Bruyne
20:34Eden Hazard
20:35Amrabat is there to hack away at him
20:37help from Ziyech
20:40throw in for Morocco
20:43doubled up well on the Belgium captain
20:44well this is exactly what Amrabat's in there for
20:46he does a lot of this type of good work
20:49in front of the back four
20:56brother of the former Watford winger Nordin
20:58who won 64 caps for his country
21:06he's been linked with a Premier League move himself
21:08Spurs have been mentioned in dispatches
21:11currently with Fiorentina in Italy
21:19another with a strong Belgium connection as well
21:21in the Morocco squad
21:23played for Club Brugge
21:27Salim Amala his midfield partner
21:30is
21:32Belgian born and bred
21:33and played all his career in the country too
21:37there's Matongan
21:38he's back in his homeland with Anderlecht
21:40and he finds Munier
21:46awkward one
21:48for Hazard T
22:04pressure from Castagna
22:08they're not able to get out of their own half
22:10they haven't for a while now
22:17Walid Regraghi
22:18in charge of just his fifth game for the Moroccan national side
22:25free-kick Belgium
22:27watching his side toil a bit at the moment
22:29yeah there he is again
22:31Amrabat is
22:32he's very active in there but
22:33sometimes he's got to get there
22:35stand up put the pressure on
22:36make them pass the ball backwards
22:41there's nothing in that
22:45Regraghi was only appointed at the end of August
22:48teams unbeaten under him so far
22:49four games yet to concede a goal
22:52they'll do well
22:54to keep another shutout against Belgium
22:56they've only failed to score in one of their last 52 matches
23:01and they're putting it on a bit here
23:06you would think something's got to give
23:21De Bruyne's going to leave this one
23:24play to Hazard
23:24that's why
23:25there's De Bruyne
23:27it's going to spin behind for a corner
23:30yeah it's well worked
23:33I just think the minute
23:34De Bruyne steps over the ball
23:36it's like a red flag
23:37it's like well where's he going
23:39where is he
23:40he's got to come back to him at some point
23:47he's waiting outside of the area here
23:49Onana is very much in there
23:54putting up pace and Onana got there in front of goalkeeper Bono
23:58and he was unable to get over the ball
24:02yeah it's a set piece after set piece at the minute
24:04that they're having to deal with
24:05it's a good run from Onana
24:06he just gets ahead of it
24:10here's that well worked set piece
24:13you know De Bruyne is capable from there
24:15of doing anything he wants
24:19it came off the knee of West Ham's
24:21Nayef Aguert
24:24Masraoui gives it away
24:3265% of the possession has been Belgium
24:36yeah it's been really comfortable for them
24:37they'll be delighted out there
24:39after the last game they went through
24:42they didn't know what hit them
24:44this is much more the pace that they want to be playing at
25:04Staniya forced across to Alderweireld
25:06Bufau will get there but not quickly enough
25:12that was nice and sprightly from Musa Masraoui
25:17normally of Ajax
25:18Bayern Munich player now
25:21carried off against Croatia but it was precautionary
25:25problem with his hip
25:27there was a doubt about Hakimi on the other side as well
25:30with a thigh niggle
25:31they are two really important players for Morocco
25:34who haven't been able to show it so far
25:36they've not been able to get out of defence
25:43well they've not had any of the ball either
25:44it's just been all Belgium
25:50Munier
25:51it's not a clean layoff from Edo Nassar
25:54but it's come to De Bruyne now
25:57not enough on the back heel
26:00Mellar tries to tidy up
26:01and that's straight at Bonho
26:05shot from Munier
26:06and he's got a track back now
26:15Bufau
26:17took a little knock from Unana
26:22he just slowed it down a little bit too much there
26:24Bufau
26:26it's allowed the whole team to get back in
26:27and Unana will take that
26:31there's a chance for Munier
26:47it's nice
26:55Munier was only half beaten
27:00there's an extra layer of excitement from the Morocco supporters
27:03whenever Hakim Ziyech looks like he's about to do something
27:13Ziyech only returned from international retirement
27:16self-imposed in September
27:17he didn't get on with
27:19former coach
27:20he wasn't alone in that
27:24one of the reasons why
27:27he got the push
27:35Morocco throw
27:50Unana
27:54it's Hakimi joining in the attack for the first time today
27:58lovely bit of skill
28:00and that's a decent try from Ziyech
28:02we know he can do that
28:03we know that's just about within his range
28:08well it is but
28:09it's gonna have to be some strike to beat Thibaut Courtois from there
28:13he's not even flinched
28:14he knows exactly where it's going
28:15but better
28:15much better for Morocco
28:17he's still getting on the ball and
28:19doing something a bit more progressive now
28:23I know it'll make you wince
28:25but allow me to reference that goal for Chelsea against Spurs last season
28:30thanks for that
28:34I'm waiting for the comebacks that you've promised
28:40still saving them don't worry
28:45De Bruyne
28:47passed out to Masraoui
28:48one back by Eden Hazard
29:00offside
29:00that'll be a free kick for Morocco
29:13hard team to beat
29:14the Atlas Lions
29:15only lost 2 of 38
29:17it's going back 3 years that run
29:25Bouffal
29:25is followed too keenly by
29:27Mounier
29:34Mounier
29:35is adamant
29:35he's hardly touched him
29:36tend to agree really
29:49again
29:50Amra back dropping back into the defence
30:02where's Em Naziri going
30:04it's behind him
30:05it was behind Votongen too
30:07Courtois
30:10no drama
30:11no drama
30:11oh nearly a bit of drama
30:14he was quick enough ultimately
30:18cool as you like
30:19from Thibaut Courtois
30:27Mounier
30:28Mounier
30:28good spell this for Morocco
30:31it ends there although it is going to be a free kick
30:34the referee blew his whistle before the assistant flagged
30:41that was lovely but I don't think he quite intended to take as long with this
30:45I think he actually gets caught as well on the way back but that is lovely it's nice and composed
30:52goes in line with the way Belgium started the game really
31:00Ziyech
31:01looked as though he might have set off too soon anyway but it's going to be a Belgium throw
31:05but as you can hear as well
31:07the fans have come back
31:10they're starting to sense that their team are getting a little bit more confidence in the game
31:19amongst Walid Regraghi's staff is somebody who will know Belgium very very well
31:24Chris Van Puyvelde
31:26who is Belgian and was the national team's technical director
31:29until 2018
31:32Roberto Martinez now doubles up and does that job as well
31:39pretty much all of these players will have been around
31:41whilst Van Puyvelde was with the Belgian staff
31:45Van Puyvelde was with the Belgian staff
31:45Van Puyvelde back with Alderweireld
32:23Hayden Nassar's little flick found Patshuayi who couldn't make it stick
32:28there's Saïs
32:34and the flag is up from offside against Ziyech that's going to be a Belgian free kick
32:42time for me to let you know what's coming up as your World Cup Sunday continues
32:49the other game in this group Croatia against Canada today from 3.40 on BBC One
32:54and then tonight get your Sunday tea out of the way and settle down for Spain Germany from 6.30
33:00also BBC One
33:02and I don't suppose anybody needs reminding that on Tuesday from 6pm
33:06it is Wales against England
33:13England
33:14oh yes
33:18well it's needing to win 5-4 or just win and hope for a draw in the USA Iran game
33:28England just need to do what they have to do
33:33everything sounds simple when you put the word just in it's not like that
33:36oh yeah I saw that against USA
33:42Onana it's drifting behind
33:44what have you made of Amadou Onana's start in an Everton shirt
33:49I think he's been a decent addition in that midfield for Everton I think he's a handful there's no doubt
33:55about that
33:55there's some flaws in his game as well I have to say
34:00he's a bit raw the quality could improve definitely
34:04but they 100% needed him in this midfield
34:08I love Tielemans I think he's a top player
34:11and I'd probably be playing myself ahead of Witzel in a game like today but
34:15they just got completely overran and that's one thing that I suppose
34:19catches Tielemans out every now and again is when the game gets quick
34:22people can go by him a little bit too easy
34:24and Onana stopped that in the second half
34:30Amra back, stops Batshuayi
34:32awkward first touch from Bono but he got it away
34:38Sabriens goalkeeper with Sevilla in Spain
34:41that was in his 11th season in Spain all told
34:47big game for him on Thursday against Canada who was born in Montreal
34:54misjudged by Mounier
34:56Ruffel
34:58couldn't go through himself so looks to the back instead
35:01and that's a
35:03a wild blast from Semiel Amelard
35:09well it was Mounier that has got
35:10sucked in
35:11from the crossfield pass and it just opened everything up
35:16the knockdown from Hakimi's
35:17spot on but that would have been some goal
35:20how do you finish that?
35:25Spence off Witzel
35:28who fouls
35:29and plenty of the ball
35:30he's looked positive every time he's had it
35:32that's now going to be a yellow card for Thomas Mounier
35:36who hasn't had a chat with the referee already
35:38it's ridiculous for Mounier though
35:40I don't know why he's running into him like that
35:44Aladou Anana
35:46who's flagged up as getting the yellow
35:50there it is, the arm
35:51yeah
35:52then Mounier came in with the next one but the whistle
35:54has gone for that first one
35:56well
35:57either way
35:58it means a suspension for the next game
36:00Mounier was on a booking, Anana was on a booking
36:02so it's Amadou Anana
36:04who's got to make the most of this chance now
36:08because he won't be playing against Croatia
36:12big game to miss as well
36:16Tielemann's back in then
36:26that's going to just run out
36:27it's a difficult one that, it's too straight
36:30it's got no angle on it
36:31he's actually played it reasonably well but
36:37you're never going to get on the end of it, it's always getting away from you
36:47Jan Vertonghen
36:50Jan Vertonghen
36:57Winsel
37:02a little bit quiet Belgium
37:04that's ten minutes really
37:05haven't seen much of De Bruyne on the ball
37:07much of Hazard
37:10the two players, you've just got to be constantly trying to find them
37:13it's got to be kind of the aim
37:16when you're building out from the back
37:17how can I get this ball to those two
37:20between the two Hazards they've got a free kick for their team on halfway
37:23there's a nice little combination between Eden and Torgan
37:29Torgan was never going to get away
37:32from Amalat grappling all the way
37:34he got something on the ball but I think it was the
37:38what happened before
37:4230 gone, no goals
37:46Belgium were looking in control earlier on
37:48but it doesn't look like that now
37:49no it doesn't
37:54it doesn't look like that
37:54Hakimi
37:56one heck of a player
38:01Ziyech
38:05Hakimi
38:06well he's got caught there
38:08high up the field
38:10he does have the pace to recover
38:11and actually the recovering's been done for him by Amalat
38:17Ziyech
38:19hammer back
38:23poor ball
38:26De Bruyne
38:27that's why
38:29that was a strange ball
38:31I don't know what he saw there
38:33what's going on in the centre circle all round
38:35scrappy play from both sides
38:37scrappy but you just get the sense that
38:39Morocco are just
38:40gaining more and more confidence
38:42getting a little bit higher up the pitch
38:46it's a late one that
38:50caught the knee of Eden Hazard outside of the right knee
38:54Amalat just
38:57late tackle on Hazard but
38:59he needs to find a way to get himself in this game more
39:05another season of being undercooked with Real Madrid
39:08he's only started one La Liga game
39:10injury problems once more
39:13never any dispute about his status as Belgium's
39:15captain and leader there
39:19125th camp
39:33Witzel
39:37he's 4 ahead of him on 1-2-9
39:41Witzel actually made his debut against Morocco
39:44March 2008
39:46it was a 4-1 Morocco win
39:48in a Brussels friendly
39:49the only time that the
39:51African side has won
39:52in three meetings of the nations
39:55De Bruyne
39:57Meunier
39:59and
40:01outstretched arms from the brothers
40:03Hazard
40:04both of whom
40:05might have been in with better service
40:06yeah that was vintage
40:08Kevin
40:08sorry
40:09Eden Hazard
40:10the Oat that started that attack
40:12you can see what he's trying to do
40:14he's just trying to feed it into that
40:15that corridor to Michi Batshuayi
40:17but it was never going to get to him
40:19that's the impact when you get Hazard on the ball
40:21and De Bruyne
40:22everything just opens up
40:24everything just opens up
40:32don't you throw
40:46on the ball
40:47on the ball out
40:47on the ball out
40:47on the ball out
41:03Witzel
41:06missed control by Odeweireld
41:10Bufal
41:14Mizraoui
41:31Amala
41:31had to work to keep it
41:34Amrabat
41:42wrestling match going on as Morocco tried to play through
41:45they've managed to go out wide
41:47it's Ziyech
41:53Hakimi breaking into the box
41:54and he had Ziyech with him
41:56and he had Ennaziri moving in the middle
41:58and he just
41:59put his head down and hammered it
42:01it was a brilliant run
42:02it really was
42:02I think it was just
42:03a tiny bit of movement that confused
42:05Torgan Hazard
42:07allowed Hakimi to get in behind
42:08and to be honest
42:09he had a good look up
42:10to see who he could pick out
42:11there was nobody available
42:13so I don't blame him for taking on the strike
42:16so hammered it
42:17he didn't really did he
42:17sort of came off the outside of the boot a bit
42:19yeah they've got to utilize that right hand side
42:21much more
42:23Morocco
42:24got so much quality there
42:25De Bruyne
42:27trying to run away from Masraoui
42:29couldn't do it
42:32it's going to be a Belgium corner
42:41the home
43:02Bonos got to it
43:03with a really good strong hand
43:12He's thrown up.
43:17Eden Hazard.
43:22Torgan Hazard threatened to lose it there.
43:26He'd just run away from him, but he'll happily accept the throw.
43:50Torgan Hazard.
44:02Tite to Witzel.
44:10There's Alderweireld.
44:21Belgium trying to get things going.
44:24Playing their patient game.
44:27It's too slow though.
44:29Every player is taking too many touches.
44:31There's not enough movement.
44:36It's quite easy to play against,
44:37because they're just keeping the ball for the sake of keeping it really.
44:40It's like their game plan is,
44:41we'll just keep it,
44:43get a bit sloppy, lose it.
44:46There's Amripat winning it.
44:47Trying to keep going with it.
44:49A slip from Onana.
44:50The referee has thrilled that he was forced into the slip,
44:53so it's going to be a free kick for Belgium.
44:58Now one thing I should have noticed earlier on,
44:59I apologize for.
45:01It was a changing goal for Morocco at the start.
45:04You know at the start when we saw the goalkeeper running on?
45:07Oh yeah.
45:07We haven't seen his number.
45:08It's number 12 El Khaziaoui in goal.
45:10Well.
45:10Munir El Khaziaoui.
45:12You've got to do your job, did you?
45:13Okay, okay.
45:14You can see his number now.
45:16There you go.
45:18Looks similar to Bonnet, to me.
45:21So did Ziyech apparently.
45:22He's apparently, we're trying to find out what happened to him.
45:27I think he might have been taken ill just before the match,
45:31so that's why there was that little delay when they were waiting for
45:34the Morocco team photo and then the shaking hands with Eden Hazard.
45:45Oh yeah.
45:46Keeping a clean sheet.
45:50Mine's ruined in every sense.
45:52Oh yeah.
45:56You can save that story I think.
45:58Yeah, we'll save that till later.
46:05Problems with the local wildlife.
46:09De Bruyne with the Belgian free kick.
46:18Witzel on the move, six yards out.
46:25De Bruyne's whipped it in onto the top of the net.
46:30Fully intentional.
46:32Well yeah, every now and again when you whip him in at the pace that he does.
46:36He may have hit one or two.
46:42I have to say, I think kind of getting into the latter stages of this first half,
46:46Morocco will probably be the happier of the two sides.
46:51Just haven't quite created any real chances.
46:58Aidan Hazard, De Bruyne infield.
47:03Unana, offside surely, Batshuayi.
47:07He's got to get back on side there, Batshuayi.
47:11He's a lazy run.
47:15He just stays behind.
47:16He's got to get back on side.
47:17Ben, you run.
47:24Romelu Lukaku, well, just about to say that he might have been missed.
47:28He's been struggling with a hamstring injury for some weeks, named in the squad anyway.
47:32And the idea was that he'd be fit for game three.
47:35Might be needed in game two.
47:43I'm sure watching from the sides, he'll be looking at it thinking, just get me on.
47:49Good enough to be on the bench then.
47:52Just get me on the pitch.
47:53Batshuayi.
47:55Witzel.
47:59Witton.
48:10Hazard.
48:10Witton.
48:10Witton.
48:15Witton.
48:15Mounier.
48:18Batshuayi, full stretch.
48:20Couldn't stretch enough.
48:2941 minutes played.
48:32Batshuayi has it again.
48:34Not close enough to De Bruyne.
48:37Aidan Hazard can't get past the first challenge, Amala has followed him now, Onana, off Amala,
49:00and De Bruyne turns and finds a message to Amadou Onana, looking a little frustrated again,
49:06Kevin De Bruyne trying to make things tick.
49:08I think he just wants him to hit the pass, he had a look at it, Onana,
49:11and then just decided to play the ball to Kevin De Bruyne just because he was there,
49:15that's the influence of him, but as a midfield player you've got to start hitting passes.
49:26Witzel.
49:35Munier.
49:40De Bruyne.
49:44Munier just about to get it in.
49:46That's all that happens there, Hazard dropped deep two minutes ago to go and get the ball,
49:51De Bruyne is now dropping deeper and deeper to get it.
50:00He has beaten to it, did he just catch Castagne?
50:02The referee doesn't think so, he's given a throw.
50:09It's increasingly likely that we're going to head to the break goal,
50:11as there's so many games that the World Cup have done.
50:18The thing with both these sides, I don't think either forward has really been involved in the game enough,
50:24not offering a lot either, don't look that dangerous.
50:27From Morocco's point of view, you feel like if there's going to be a goal,
50:30it will be down that right-hand side with Hakimi and Ziyech,
50:35and then maybe De Bruyne or Hazard might pop up and do something.
50:39The two front men for both sides have been pretty poor.
50:50Witzel.
50:53Onana.
50:54That's nicely done.
50:56De Bruyne.
51:00Couldn't break for Batouin.
51:03Good tackle by Aguère.
51:13The ball went out for a Belgian throw.
51:19The defence is on top.
51:21I think both sides are trying.
51:23They're trying to pick up the pace where they can.
51:27It's followed the pattern of many games.
51:30That's right.
51:41Witzel.
51:52Eddin Hazard.
51:54In quickly came Masraoui.
51:57It was clear foul as well.
51:59Smart from Eddin Hazard.
52:02Just has a little look as this gets played into him.
52:06Knows exactly where Malzahar is.
52:10Takes the tap.
52:18Eddin Hazard.
52:19Two on him.
52:20Straight away.
52:20Amrubat won it.
52:21Here's Ruffal.
52:26Heading it out towards Ziyech.
52:29He's got Castagne for company.
52:33Ziyech has Hakimi to help him if necessary.
52:36And he's actually been chopped.
52:37It's going to be a Morocco free kick here.
52:38As we enter one minute of added time at the end of the half.
52:43Chance for Morocco to have the lead before the break.
52:46It was a beautiful ball from Souffaut in the first place.
52:53You just saw there Torgan Hazard just having a little nibble.
52:56It's difficult to see on that replay whether he got the ball or not.
52:59But either way they've got themselves a free kick in a great position
53:04at the end of the first half.
53:06They've been great in their own box defending them.
53:09Let's see what they can do on the other end.
53:18The noise level slowly rises building to a crescendo for the Hakim Ziyech free kick.
53:26Just had a little look up to see the big picture on the big screen.
53:40And from Ziyech all the way in.
53:53Oh, this place has erupted.
54:01Somehow Hakim Ziyech found a way.
54:13A collision followed that means Witzel and Saïs need some treatment.
54:21Thibaut Courtois needs to have another look at that and see how it beat him.
54:25Well, it's all about two things.
54:28First, the delivery and it's a well-worked set piece.
54:32There may possibly be an offside shout.
54:35Yeah, I wonder.
54:36I wonder.
54:37But it's brilliantly worked.
54:39The way they load up that front area of the defensive line of Belgium
54:43causes so much confusion.
54:47And I think that...
54:50I think it's Saïs that's getting in the line of Courtois.
54:54And even if he doesn't touch it, I think it will possibly be called offside.
54:59It's been checked.
55:01Well, the lines will go in now.
55:02Saïs, yeah, he didn't touch it.
55:03But he was undoubtedly right in front of Thibaut Courtois.
55:07He then crashed into the post.
55:08Well, Courtois can only react to what he thinks Saïs could possibly do.
55:12So he'll be moving thinking he might head this.
55:15Here we go.
55:19The referee's been told to have a look.
55:21I thought this was a straightforward offside call.
55:23It felt like it.
55:24Unless there's something else going on in the box that we haven't seen.
55:27Maybe.
55:28Well, Witzel went down, we know that.
55:33Well, the only thing I would say is...
55:36I think Witzel's back leg...
55:41was before that.
55:45I don't understand why they're checking if he's touched it or not, really.
55:51Unless it's already been ruled that he wasn't offside.
55:53Oh, yeah, that's...
55:55It's not very clear, is it, what they give you?
55:57Well, we don't hear anything.
55:58But it's not going to be a goal.
56:01And Ziyech, all those celebrations were for nothing and this...
56:05Even then the fans were like cheering because they thought it was given.
56:10It's not clear enough.
56:12Offside is the verdict after that.
56:15We need to tell the fans exactly what's going on.
56:18The audience needs to know what's going on.
56:20And it remains goalless. That is half-time.
56:22We've got a rather strange ending.
56:24We've got a rather strange ending.
