Commentary
De Bruyne shoots from inside the box and it takes a deflection before going out for a corner.
Another corner for Belgium and this time it floats across the face of goal before Mechele concedes the foul for a push.
The corner is sent into the box where Courtois comes forward and punches. It bounces to Randall outside the box. He waits for it to bounce down and launches from downtown, but it's high and wide and out for a goal-kick.
New Zealand win the corner off Castagne as they continue to chase the game.

Jérémy Doku wasn't expected to play 90 minutes and that's how it works out with Matias Fernandez-Pardo coming on to replace him.

Elijah Just is shown the yellow card for a shirt pull on Trossard.
