FULL TIME: Belgium wins 1-0. It's a thoroughly athletic and consistent game by Belgium. They displayed immense patience and they never lost control of the game. Even in the final 5 minutes when India dominated the ball possession, Belgians looked composed while they blocked those attacks. The Belgian GK was never put to the ultimate test.
The Indians remain guilty of converting those half chances.

India needs to come up something drastic to come back in the game.
