Belgium France score at halftime
France entered the break with more of the ball and the clearer attacking pressure, but Belgium goalkeeper Senne Lammens kept the visitors from breaking through.
France registered four shots on target during the opening half, while Belgium managed three attempts but did not force a save from Mike Maignan.
The visitors also earned four corners compared with one for Belgium.
Belgium received the first booking of the match when Diego Moreira was shown a yellow card in the 42nd minute.
De Bruyne receives treatment
Belgium captain Kevin De Bruyne briefly received treatment after going down in the 34th minute.
Play resumed after the stoppage, and De Bruyne remained involved for the rest of the first half.
The midfielder also helped Belgium win an early corner in the second minute as the home side tried to start quickly.
How the first half unfolded
France created much of its pressure through sustained possession and repeated set-piece opportunities.
The French side won corners in the 11th, 24th and 40th minutes, while Belgium struggled to turn its spells of possession into clear chances.
Belgium’s best moments came through its attacking midfielders and the movement of Charles De Ketelaere, Mika Godts and Moreira around the French defence.
France’s starting attack included Bradley Barcola and Esteban Lepaul, with Désiré Doué and Maghnes Akliouche also contributing to the visitors’ forward movement.
Neither side found the decisive pass before the interval, leaving the match finely balanced heading into the second half.
What is at stake in Group A1
Belgium began the match after a 2-0 away win over Italy on September 25.
France also opened its campaign with a 1-0 victory over Türkiye.
The result in Brussels will therefore shape the early Group A1 standings, particularly with both teams scheduled to meet again in France on October 5.
Belgium will next host Türkiye on October 2, while France is scheduled to face Italy on the same date.
Second-half outlook
Belgium will need to improve its attacking efficiency if it is to take all three points at home.
France has controlled more of the game, but the visitors have not converted that territorial advantage into a goal.
The next major tactical decision will be whether either coach introduces additional pace or creativity from the bench.
For now, Belgium France remains a 0-0 contest, with the decisive moment still to come.
