The Kevin De Bruyne Show comes to an end, and Scotland will be glad to see the back of him.
Three assists and then one late goal for the Manchester City playmaker. Stunning individual performance, and Lukaku, Vermaelen and Alderweireld will all be grateful for the midfielder's input too.
Belgium stay perfect. Scotland slip to fifth....
Verschaeren denied a debut goal as Marshall gets down to make a smart save.
And another Belgium debut, this time for Raman.

Beautiful.
It's Lukaku who this time finds De Bruyne, and he curls a first-time effort into the far corner.
Three assists. One goal. Man of the match.
GOAL FOR DE BRUYNE!
What a masterclass from the Manchester City playmaker.
Goal
K. De Bruyne
A needless yellow for Vermaelen after he catches Christie. Can't have any complaints, although he does complain.
Yellow card
T. Vermaelen
And here comes Carrasco for Chadli...

Second Scotland change with Russell coming on...

M. Phillips
Almost an own goal from Robertson... who gets his clearance wrong after Lukaku just misses out on heading it in.
De Bruyne then almost gets a fourth assist when Alderweireld meets his corner, but he shoots straight at Marshall.
Scotland slipping to fifth as it stands in Group I...
WIDE! 'Nooooo!' you can hear De Bruyne cry, as he takes a touch 18 yards out before rolling an effort narrowly wide.
A cross is just a tad high for Phillips, who can only head it into the air, and then McTominay concedes a foul after seemingly going down and touching the ball with his arm.
First sub of the evening as Armstrong replaces McGregor.
Belgium just enjoying the lion's share of possession but are in no rush to attack. All about avoiding injury you'd think - the points are in the bag.
De Bruyne's corner causes a bit of bother but Scotland eventually clear.
Another promising Scotland attack ends when Christie's effort is blocked and makes its way through to Courtois. Belgium happy to coast through this half it would seem.
That being said.... they go on the counter as Lukaku picks out De Bruyne, but his effort is blocked and goes out for a corner...
