HALF TIME!
This has been so easy for Belgium. The Red Panthers did not even have to break a sweat and they have a 4-0 lead. The Indian defence was poor throughout and they paid the price.
The Belgians, on the other hand, never really allowed the Indian eves to fully press forward and were brilliant in stealing away the possession. Back in a bit for the remaining 30 minutes.
IND 0-4 BEL
