That’s all for tonight. I’ll leave you with Suzanne Wrack’s report – goodnight. Sarina Wiegman’s reaction We’re very happy with the win, especially after the last game. We played with lots of energy. We really wanted to dominate the game and I think that’s what we did. We hoped to score more goals because then it becomes easier. You could see that on counter-attacks they were sometimes very dangerous. But overall I’m very happy with our performance. We started the game really well with a lot of pace, then it dropped a little bit. At first they didn’t step in with the centre-back, then later on they did, and then we needed more runs behind. It’s just a lot easier if we score a second goal. But I was pleased with our performance. We said after the World Cup we sometimes lose the ball in dangerous moments, and we were a lot more secure on the ball today. The decision-making needs to be right. I was very happy to see Fran Kirby back. She did well; Ella [Toone] played well too. Full time: England 1-0 Belgium Peep peep! England make it two wins out of three in their Nations League group, though Belgium made them sweat. It was a strange game, in that both a 3-0 England win and a 1-1 draw would have made sense. In the end England did enough to protect Lauren Hemp’s early goal and move above Belgium ahead of the return match on Tuesday. Netherlands beat Scotland 4-0 in the other group game, so this is how the table looks at the halfway point. Netherlands 6pts (+4) England 6 (+1) Belgium 4 (0) Scotland 1 (-5) 90+2 min The return game in Leuven on Tuesday will be good. Belgium are a better team than I realised. 90+1 min Four minutes of added time. Park produces a lovely bit of footwork in the area but runs out of room and shoots wide from a tight angle. 90 min A speculative header from De Caigny bounces gently through to Earps. England are nearly there. 87 min: Belgium substitution Jill Janssens replaces Kassandra Missipo. 85 min Greenwood’s angled free-kick is headed back across goal by Bronze towards Daly, who hooks an adroit shot that is well blocked on the six-yard line. 84 min: England substitution Jess Park replaces her Manchester City teammate Chloe Kelly, who was as busy and progressive as ever. 83 min Kelly’s long-range shot is blocked. This game is too open for England’s liking. 82 min Daniels is fouled by Daly on the left wing. Belgium are a threat from set-pieces and again they pin England in their box. Eventually Wijnants’s cross is headed down and claimed by Earps. 78 min Hemp plays a one-two on the right, charges into the area and rifles a low drive that is kneed away at the near post by the keeper Evrard. It was unorthodox but a good bit of improvised goalkeeping. 77 min England’s lead feels increasingly precarious. Belgium have done this before – last month they were 1-0 down to the Netherlands, who had 76 per cent of the possession, and came back to win the game in injury time. 74 min Hemp’s cross just evades the head of Daly before Evrard punches it away. England are having their best spell in a while. 73 min Netherlands are hammering Scotland 4-0 in the other game in this group. That means, as things stand, they and England top the group with six points (though Netherlands are first because of the head-to-head). 71 min Greenwood curls a fine free-kick over the wall, and Evrard flies to her left to punch it away. It was a fairly comfortable save in the end. 70 min Kelly’s cross is punched away dramatically by Evrard, then Stanway is fouled 30 yards from goal. This might be a chance for Greenwood. 67 min England have taken control again after that good spell for Belgium, but 1-0 doesn’t feel like a safe lead. And yes, I know that sounds idiotic but there are times when it does feel safe, for example when Manchester City’s men’s team are 1-0 up and have the ball. 64 min: Double substitution for England Rachel Daly gives Fran Kirby a hug before they come on to replace Ella Toone and Alessia Russo. It’s a really nice moment for Kirby, who missed the World Cup through injury. 60 min Stanway is lucky not to be booked for a foul on Deloose. Belgium are having more of the ball than at any stage of the match. 57 min This is a good spell for Belgium. The impressive Detruyer, only 19, threads a terrific ball to find Cayman on the right side of the area. Her cutback bounces awkwardly in front of Wullaert, who mishits a shot that is cleared by Bright. 56 min Earps makes another good save. A free-kick was cleared as far as the substitute Wijnants, 25 yards out. She took a touch and leathered a shot that was punched away by Earps, flying to her left. It wasn’t quite as dramatic as her earlier save but it was another excellent, decisive bit of goalkeeping. 53 min Hemp, who has started the second on the right, beats Deloose with ease but her cutback is headed away at the near post. 50 min Another chance goes begging. Kelly surges thrillingly into the area from the left and has a shot blocked. It ricochets to Russo, who volleys over from eight yards. The ball was slightly behind her, but it was still a terrific opportunity. 50 min England look like they want to put this game to bed as soon as possible. They’ve made a ferocious start to the second half, as they did the first. 48 min: Chance for Bronze! The next corner, swung in from the right by Greenwood, is headed just wide of the far post by the unmarked Bright. That was an excellent chance. 48 min Hemp wins an early corner for England on the left. Kelly’s inswinging corner is half cleared and comes back to her on the left. She stands up a lovely cross that is met powerfully by Bright, 10 yards out. Her header hits Vanhaevermaet and brushes the roof of the net. 46 min Peep peep! Belgium begin the second half, and they’ve made a substitution: Sarah Wijnants has replaced Jody Vangheluwe. Half time: England 1-0 Belgium Peep peep! England lead deservedly through Lauren Hemp’s goal. They’ve had over 75 per cent of the possession and look much better for the return to a front three. It wasn’t entirely comfortable, though: Mary Earps made a spectacular save at 0-0 and Belgium were a semi-regular threat both on the counter-attack and from set-pieces. 45+1 min The resulting corner is met by De Caigny, who hooks an adroit volley into the side netting at the near post. 45 min A Belgium free-kick leads to a bit of a scramble in the England area. Eventually De Caigny’s snapshot is crucially blocked by Bronze. 43 min Kelly plays a one-two on the left with Toone and pokes the ball off to Russo, whose swept shot is too close to Evrard. 40 min Detruyer guides a fine pass down the inside-right channel to Wullaert. She has no support so takes the shot on from the right edge of the area. It hits Bright and rebounds for a throw-in. 37 min With Belgium camped in their own third, Bright moves forward and thunders a long-range shot that is deflected behind for another corner. 34 min Although they have dominated throughout, England won’t feel comfortable at 1-0. Belgium have shown enough in attack, Wullaert in particular, to ward off any complacency. 31 min “England have three goalkeepers on the bench?” says Andrew Sherman. “I suppose this is to give Khiara Keating a taste of the action?” I think all the available players are on the bench – Lauren James and Lucy Parker have pulled out. The days of two subs, if you’re lucky, are long gone. 30 min Bright belts a crossfield pass to Charles, who heads it cleverly back inside to Hemp. She draws the keeper and knocks the ball across the face of goal, but Russo can’t quite get there under pressure from De Neve. Shame as that was an excellent move.
