That's all for tonight folks! Thanks for joining in. This is your commentator, Sachin Bhat, signing off. Toodle-oo.

Croatia will face the runners-up of Group E on Monday

Croatia weren't at their clinical best either but a draw is enough to see them through and finish as runners-up of Group F as Morocco beat Canada in the other game. Belgium, meanwhile, go home. What a tragic ending to the golden generation's campaign!

Romelu Lukaku, who was thrown in to make a difference, had a nightmare upfront, spurning a couple of good chances that would've easily won the game for his team tonight. He's going to have nightmares especially about that miss in the 90th minute 

Belgium needed a win at all costs but couldn't find a way past a resolute Croatia, who were on the ropes late on when the Red Devils threw the kitchen sink.

FULL-TIME: CROATIA 0-0 BELGIUM - and just like that, Belgium are out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup! Who could've predicted that one at the start of the tournament?

90+4' Majer almost scores the winner for Croatia with the last kick of the game but it's blocked, although it doesn't matter as the game is over!

90+3' We are into the final minute now as Belgium are going home!

90+2' Kovacic is taken off for Lovro Majer 

90' LUKAKU MISSED A SITTER! WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY TO SNATCH A LATE WINNER! The Inter Milan striker is played inside the box by Hazard but he can't connect with it properly and Livakovic jumps in to collect the ball. Boy oh boy, that could've been the winner for Belgium right there.

88' Meunier is off for Eden Hazard

86' Belgium have a corner but its played short and the Red Devils are looking to find a way from open play again

85' INTO THE SIDE-NETTING! De Bruyne bursts into the box from the right and looks go all the way himself but buries his effort into the side-netting instead

81' Belgium are desperate right now. They have positioned themselves high up with Lukaku waiting inside the box for crosses

78' Belgium win a corner and De Bruyne plays it in but its headed over the bar. Still nothing breaks for the Red Devils!

74' Belgium are running out of time here

72' Dendoncker is replaced by Youri Tielemens 

72' Carrasco is substituted and Jeremy Doku comes in his place

68' Petkovic feeds Modric in the final third but the Real Madrid star's effort is straight into the hands of Courtois

66' Dendoncker catches Kovacic and goes into the books

64' Kramaric is also taken off for Pasalic

64' Livaja is coming off for Petkovic

63'! Lukaku fires another header over the bar! De Bruyne feeds Lukaku with a wonderful cross and the Inter Milan hitman heads it over, although replays showed the ball had gone out of play before De Bruyne played it to him. So, it wouldn't have counted anyways.

61' SO CLOSE! De Bruyne threads the needle for Carrasco, who is crowded out inside the box. The ball falls to Lukaku and the striker fires his effort against the post

59' Trossard is off for Thorgan Hazard

53' Modric unleashes a powerful effort but Courtois, his Real Madrid teammate, dives to parry it away

52' Croatia seem to be back in control here, attempting a series of shots, but Courtois' brilliance has so far kept them from going in front

51' Just seconds after seeing Gvardiol's effort tipped over, De Bruyne tries his luck but it's wide

50' Gvardiol feeds Kovacic from the left but the latter's effort is turned over the bar by Courtois

48' Belgium have flown out of the blocks here. They win a corner and Lukaku calls Livakovic into question with a fine header

46' Romelu Lukaku has come on for Mertens. His presence will be of vital importance to Belgium

45' We are back underway for the second half!

As things stand, Belgium are going home and must find their way back into the game to have a chance of progressing into the last-16. Croatia just need to avoid a defeat to reach the next round. 

Croatia appeared to have won a penalty later on but it was ruled out for offside play in the buildup, allowing the Belgians to heave a huge sigh of relief 

Mertens had a great chance to put the Red Devils in front after being fed by De Bruyne on the counter but the former Napoli forward blazed his effort hopelessly over the bar

It's been a half of few chances although Belgium won't be too happy to head into the break level, especially with Morocco leading Canada in the other game.

HALF-TIME: CROATIA 0-0 BELGIUM

45+2' Carrasco sends a cross from the left but it's cleared by Perisic, who has been colossal at the back for Croatia in this half

45' There will be four additional minutes to the half

45' WIDE! Minutes after Belgium spurn an opportunity to score, Croatia find themselves on the attacking foot upfront but Kramaric fires the effort wide

43' Dendoncker gets to the right-inside channel and cuts it back to Mertens, but the ball flashes across the face of the goal with no Belgian player in the box to tap it home! What a chance that was

41' Belgium look to work their way forward through patient passing but Croatia hold firm to deny them a clear opening

37' Perisic does well to impede Trossard as he looks to connect with De Bruyne 

35' Carrasco collects the ball from Witsel on the edge of the box on the right and sends a looping cross in which is headed away by Modric. De Bruyne tried to play it back in but Croatia successfully clear once more

33' Kovacic sends a teasing cross from the left for Livaja to meet but he can't connect with it properly, sending his effort over the bar

29' Croatia manoeuvre their way forward and Modric attempts to break down the right but the flag is up

26' With Morocco leading Canada in the other game, Belgium have no choice but to win this match. Any other result would mean a humiliating group stage exit

25' Castagne attempts to shoot from just outside the box but it's blocked

21' Belgium could've been 1-0 up had Mertens taken his chance clinically, or they could've been 1-0 down had Croatia's penalty stood and Modric converted it

18' OH WAIT, THE PENALTY HAS BEEN CANCELED FOR OFFSIDE PLAY! Referee Anthony Taylor consults the pitchside monitor for a possible offside play in the buildup and Lovren was indeed ahead of the line, leading Taylor to ruled it out. Belgium have a reprieve!

16' CROATIA HAVE A PENALTY! Luka Modric whips in a free-kick that Vertonghen clears with his head but the ball remains in play and Carrasco catches Kramaric for the referee to award the Vatreni a penalty. What a chance for them to take the lead!

13' OVER! Belgium break forward on the counter with De Bruyne feeding Mertens but the forward's shot is high and over. That was a great chance for the Red Devils to take the lead against the run of play.

10' Carrasco has an attempt at goal but Brozovic blocks it

7' Belgium are looking to put pressure on Croatia off the ball with their close marking

4' Croatia have made a strong start to the match, showing frightening attacking intent to rattle the beleaguered Belgians, who are facing a must-win clash here

2' Kovacic sends in a cross after driving from the right but Kramaric is unable to meet with it

1' ALMOST! Croatia very nearly bagged the lead there with Luka Modric floating in a ball for Ivan Perisic, but he blasts his effort wide after brilliantly evading Thomas Meunier

1' We are underway at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium!

CROATIA XI: Dominik Livaković; Josip Juranović, Dejan Lovren, Joško Gvardiol, Borna Sosa; Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic, Mateo Kovacic; Andrej Kramaric, Ivan Perisic, Marko Livaja.

BELGIUM XI: Thibaut Courtois; Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Thomas Meunier; Timothy Castagne, Axel Witsel, Leander Dendoncker; Yannick Carrasco, Kevin De Bruyne, Leandro Trossard, Dries Mertens. 

Croatia and Belgium have faced each other eight times in history with three wins for each. They last met each other in June 2021 for an international friendly which resulted in a 1-0 victory for the Red Devils. 

Croatia, the runners-up of the 2018 World Cup, are currently leading Group F with four points, but a defeat could jeopardize their progression hopes with Morocco also in contention to advance. Just a draw is enough for them, however.

Belgium must win here in order to seal their place in the round of 16 or risk going out in the group stages. The 2-0 loss to Morocco in their last match left them in a precarious position and need to beat Croatia here to advance.
