Full time - Belgium 2-0 Romania

Szymon Marciniak brings a brilliant football match in Cologne to an end.

Belgium 2-0 Romania

90. The board goes up to signal four minutes of stoppage time.

It's enough time for another Romania substitution - Deian Sorescu for Andrei Ratiu - and another Lukaku mishap, as he fails to play De Bruyne in early.

Belgium 2-0 Romania

89. Poor old Romelu Lukaku.

He does everything right here, using pace and power to Andrei Burca and shoot fiercely across goal.

It's just unfortunate for the striker that Florin Nita is equal to it with an excellent stop with his right foot.

Belgium 2-0 Romania

87. Leandro Trossard has achieved the impossible - he's sent Ally McCoist into a rage.

Twice in the matter of moments, the Arsenal forward escapes on the right with teammates unmarked in the middle.

On both occasions, Trossard hangs on to the ball too long and then makes the wrong decision. Awful, awful play from the substitute.

Belgium 2-0 Romania

85. Romania almost pull one back after further slack defending from Wout Faes.

The centre-back allows Denis Alibec to sneak in to the box and poke past Koen Casteels with only alert play from Timothy Castagne keeping the ball from the back of the net.

Belgium 2-0 Romania

84. It should be three!

De Bruyne finds Trossard on the right, the substitute moves in on the keeper and spots Lukaku in space.

All he needs to do is square the ball, but somehow he gets it wrong and passes straight to a defender.

Belgium 2-0 Romania - Romania substitution

82. Following the goal, Romania change send on striker Denis Alibec in a like-for-like for Denis Dragus.

Dragus will have a big role to play in Romania's final group game.

Belgium 2-0 Romania

80. Kevin De Bruyne seals victory for Belgium!

It's perhaps the most un-Kevin De Bruyne goal you're ever likely to see, more reminiscent of 1980s Wimbledon than the world class playmaker.

Game over!

78. Just over ten minutes remain, and this one is still in the balance.

Belgium 1-0 Romania - Belgium substitution

76. Another change for the Red Devils.

19 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania

74. Razvan Marin tries his luck with a speculative effort.

That's not one to trouble either Koen Casteels in the Belgium goal, nor the replay operatives in VT.

21 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania - Belgium double substitution

71. Another two changes for Belgium sees goalscorer Youri Tielemans and the dangerous Jeremy Doku depart to great acclaim.

Orel Mangala and Yannick Carrasco come on to play their part.

Belgium 1-0 Romania - Romania double substitution

69. Edward Iordanescu rolls the dice...

...and calls for Ianis Hagi and Darius Olaru.

The pair replace the booked Marius Marin and Valentin Mihaila.

26 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania

67. Huge chance for Dennis Man!

Romania finally break the Belgian backline with the Parma man - Man - in ahead of the dawdling Wout Faes.

On his right foot, the Romanian only has Casteels to beat but drills his shot straight at the goalkeeper.

They won't get (m)any better chances than that.

Belgium 1-0 Romania - Marius Marin yellow card

65. The most obvious yellow card you'll see this summer.

Marus Marin fails to keep pace with an accelerating Kevin De Bruyne and so simply hauls the midfielder back with both arms.

30 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania

63. Romelu Lukaku has his goal!

After his two disallowed strikes against Slovakia, the Belgian forward finishes Kevin De Bruyne's through ball with aplomb to double Belgium's lead.

The Red Devils celebrate wildly, and will be moving level with the other three teams in Group F on three points.

But wait! Oh no!

The word comes through that Lukaku - who had appeared to time his run perfectly - was offside. It's not going to count!

Never mind it not being his day, it's not the striker's summer.

Belgium 1-0 Romania - Bancu yellow card

61. Trossard's first involvement in the game is to be booted up in the air by Nicusor Bancu.

As a result, the Romania defender has his name taken by the referee.

36 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania

60. Chance for Romania! Wonderful defending from Vertonghen!

Right-back Ratui pops up in the Belgium penalty area to control a clever pass, and looks primed to fire the Tricolours level.

Until, that is, Belgium's wily old defender bursts across to mop up.

38 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania

58. Belgium want that second!

Doku fails to finish off a move that he started, failing to read De Bruyne's floated cross from the left.

Moments later, Lukaku meets a drifted free-kick on the half-volley at the near post, but without the pace to trouble Nita.

40 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania

56. Belgium do make a chance but it's Dodo Lukebakio coming off rather than Jeremy Doku.

Leandro Trossard is the replacement coming on, and the Arsenal man will likely take up position on the right flank.

41 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania

54. Doku is down after picking up a knock during another darting run moments ago.

With Lukebakio suspended for the next game, I wonder if Domenico Tedesco is going to take any chances with Doku's fitness.

43 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania

52. De Bruyne goes for goal! Inches wide!

A sparkling move from Belgium sees Doku backheel a flick down the touchline for Theate, and then the captain takes over.

Bringing it inside on to his right foot, De Bruyne curls one that has Nita beaten all ends up.

It swerves and dips and curls and drops just the wrong side of the woodwork. It would have been wonderful.

Belgium 1-0 Romania

50. Standing out with his blue hair and bright yellow kit, Zeno Debast does well to block off the route of Jeremy Doku.

Unfortunately, the impressive piece of defending prompts Clive Tyldesley into some Sonic the Hedgehog chatter.

48 minutes agoBy Sam Dymond

Belgium 1-0 Romania

48. Man is in again!

This time tearing goalwards on the left, the Parma man takes too heavy a touch at the vital moment.

It's enough to allow Onana the opportunity to cut off the angle, and force the Romanian into a snapshot over from the angle.
