T. Hazard is found on the right-hand side by a great pass from Tielemans, but Blind does well to deny a cross and then thump a clearance onto the Gladbach winger to win his side a goal-kick. This contest is dying down, with Belgium the only team bothered about pushing on in numbers.
87'
GREAT SAVE! Belgium win the ball back in the middle of the park, before the Chelsea winger goes on a mazy run in from the right.

80'
OFFSIDE! Ciman is picked out by a clipped free-kick delivery into the penalty area, and directs a header home, but the Montreal defender had strayed a good few yards the wrong side of the last defender. Good decision.
79'
Bruma makes a vital challenge! Lukaku twists and turns in the box, before firing a low, left-footed shot towards the far corner, but the Netherlands defender gets a touch to direct it wide.

Brenet is brought into the game for the home side, with the cautioned Klaassen taking his leave.

45'
Klaassen picks out Wijnaldum in a good pocket of space, but the Liverpool midfielder plays backwards. Danny Blind's men are happy to just retain possession and wind down the clock in these dying stages.
43'

41'

40'
Martinez will be wondering how his side are behind here, as Mignolet has had precious little to do other than pick the ball out of the back of his own net. Oranje attack again, with Dost cutting back a cross from the right, but Lens fails to set himself with a good first touch.
38'
Penalty goal scored by D. Klaassen for Netherlands!
GOOOOOOOOAL! KLAASSEN MAKES IT 1-0! The Ajax midfielder fires a powerful effort straight down the middle, narrowly under the crossbar, giving Mignolet no chance. An undeserved lead for the home side.
37'

34'

30'

29'

28'

27'
B. Dost enters the game and replaces V. Janssen.
Three players have already picked up injuries and we're not even at the half-hour mark yet in this tie. The flow of the game, predictably, has become a little bit disjointed, but Belgium are very keen to keep holding onto the ball in order to get it up to their front four as quickly as possible.
Janssen heads off the field, after going down claiming an injury, with Bas Dost quicky installed as the burly leader of the Netherlands line up top after a brief warm-up.
25'

23'
Hazard tries to stroke a first-time cross in behind for Carrasco to chase, but the ex-Lille forward's pass is cut out. Belgium are going for the audacious here, with little tricks and flicks galore. Carrasco beats Veltman and feeds Hazard down the line, but Bruma forces the Belgian back towards the half-way line well.
21'
Belgium have shown more promise so far, in terms of opening the scoring, as Janssen has found himself very isolated up top for the hosts. The Spurs striker hasn't got anyone in close support, with Sneijder, Wijnaldum and Clasie rather deeper than was possibly planned.
19'
De Bruyne tries to stroke a cross in from the left-hand side, but a deflection takes the ball straight into the arms of Stekelenburg.

Netherlands respond with an attack, but Kabalese restricts Janssen well.
15'
J. Clasie enters the game and replaces S. Schaars.
Good punch from Mignolet! Wijnaldum does brilliantly to dance around Carrasco and whip in a dipping cross from deep on the right, which puts Janssen in a one-on-one chance scenario against the Liverpool goalkeeper. The Belgian punches away, but then clatters the Dutch striker, who is left sprawled on the turf, dazed.
Schaars is replaced after picking up an early injury, with Clasie introduced at the base of the hosts' midfield.
14'
Schaars manages to direct a header straight at Mignolet, as Belgium continue to make unnecessary problems for themselves. Blind lifts a pass forward, in search of Lens, but Ciman makes an uncompromising header. Already, there is some movement on the Dutch bench, as it appears a substitute is being readied.
12'
Both teams have enjoyed spells of possession this evening, but Belgium's offensive talent is clear for all to see. Thus far, however, Stekelenburg has gone untested. Oranje stroke the ball around with patience, before lifting a through-ball over the top that Ciman misjudges. The Montreal defender plays his goalkeeper into trouble with a weak backpass, allowing for Janssen to round Mignolet, but the Belgian centre-back recovers to make up for his earlier mistake.
10'
Meunier is released down the right-hand side by a lovely one-two with De Bruyne, but Blind tracks back to slide in and put the ball behind for a corner.

The away side keep their pressure on, as Hazard dances down the right, but he shoots way wide of the target.
8'
Blind tries to bend a cross in from the left, but sees it blocked, before Kabasele does well to rob Janssen of possession. Belgium try to break, with Hazard dancing through the midfield third, forcing Van Dijk to come out and foul the Chelsea wide man. The free-kick comes to nothing, before a dangerous through ball that looks for De Bruyne is cleared by Bruma.
6'
Hazard leads a break for the away side, as the Netherlands commit a lot of players forward for a corner, but Lens tracks back well to deny Mertens. Both sides have already shown that they aren't afraid to attack.
5'
Lens drills in a cross from the right-hand side, which searches for Janssen, but Kabasele and Vertonghen combine to lash a clearance away. Netherlands put on pressure, with a back-heel from Janssen finding the run of the overlapping Blind, but Ciman makes a timely clearance.
3'
Kabasele and Ciman make up the central defensive partnership for the away side, as Vincent Kompany has missed out due to picking up an injury in the warm-up. That is an inexperienced duo that Janssen will be relishing testing. The Spurs man is yet to get involved, however.
2'
Belgium play the ball out to the left neatly, which allows for Carrasco to jink infield. The in-form Atletico winger shoots with his right foot, but clatters his effort into Mertens - who was offside. It appears that the Napoli forward is leading the line, as he has done for his club in Arek Milik's injury absence.
1'
We are underway in the first half at the Amsterdam ArenA! Both sets of fans expect a result, as two strong line-ups have been named by both respective coaches. With nothing on the line except pride, there could be some goals in this one, especially with all involved wanting to impress ahead of competitive fixtures at the weekend.
TEAM NEWS: Maarten Stekelenburg starts in goal, after enjoying himself at Everton so far this season, with Joel Veltman and Virgil Van Dijk making up the central defensive partnership, forcing Jeffrey Bruma wider. Jeremaine Lens start on the right, due to good domestic form, with Wesley Sneijder hoping to provide ammunition from midfield for lone striker Vincent Janssen. Plenty of interesting midfield options for the hosts.
Danny Blind, meanwhile, hasn't had such a kind fixture list over the last couple of months. Oranje come into this fixture off the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat against Euro 2016 finalists France, and continue to try and recover from what has been a dark era for Dutch football.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of an international friendly that might have a bit of spice to it, as Belgium make the relatively short trip to face the Netherlands in Amsterdam. Roberto Martinez will be hoping to keep transitioning smoothly into his role as Red Devils' boss, after comfortable recent results against Gibraltar, Bosnia and Cyprus in World Cup qualifiers.
TEAM NEWS: Simon Mignolet gets the nod in goal for the away side, with Thomas Meunier starting at right-back despite barely getting a look-in for PSG lately. Vincent Kompany returns after injury at centre-back, alongside MLS favourite Laurent Ciman, with Jan Vertonghen slotting in at left-back. Steven Defour gets a chance in midfield, with no recognised striker named by Martinez. The likes of Eden Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne, Dries Mertens and Yannick Carrasco will make up a fluid attack.
Netherlands substitutes: Zoet, Vorm, Brenet, Martins Indi, Zeegelaar, Vilhena, Clasie, Ramselaar, Berghius, Memphis, De Jong, Dost.
HALF-TIME! The Netherlands hold a narrow 1-0 advantage going into the interval, but the home fans aren't too happy. The hosts have been poor and have created little, with a Klaassen penalty the only difference between the two sides here. It hasn't been a classic quite yet!
FULL-TIME! The 126th meeting between these two rivals is a forgettable one, as the two draw 1-1 in Amsterdam. Klaassen netted a first-half penalty, before Carrasco equalised with a deflected strike, as both coaches trial different personnel and systems ahead of the weekend. That's all that we have time for, we hope to see you again next time.
