(On for Lukaku, 89'): Feigned injury to waste time late on. AP
Anatoliy Trubin 6/10
UKRAINE RATINGS. Largely untroubled by poor Belgian side. Good save late on from Carrasco. AP
Oleksandr Tymchyk 7/10
Worked tirelessly to shut down Belgium's left flank. One particularly great recovery run to thwart Carrasco. AFP
Illia Zabarnyi 8/10
Solid defensive work and composed on the ball. EPA
Oleksandr Svatok 6/10
Had a solid game. Blocked bravely from Doku's shot in second half. AFP
Mykola Matviienko 7/10
Impressive display on left of back three. Defended well and fed clever passes into midfield. EPA
Vitaliy Mykolenko 7/10
Enjoyed strong game at left wing-back before being forced off with ankle injury. AFP
Volodymyr Brazhko 6/10
Added steel to midfield so Sudakov and Shaparenko could play. Reuters
Mykola Shaparenko 7/10
Talented midfielder looked after the ball well and showed creative touches. AP
Georgiy Sudakov 8/10
A special talent. Class on the ball and surging runs from midfield. Could have won it late on with brilliant solo effort. AFP
Roman Yaremchuk 6/10
Had a running battle with Faes. Perhaps could have shot instead of crossing when put through by Shaparenko. Reuters
Artem Dovbyk 5/10
Worked hard up front but failed to make the most of the few looks at goal he had. EPA
Oleksandr Zinchenko 6/10
UKRAINE SUBS. (On for Mykolenko, 55'): Slotted in on the left after Everton man went off. Getty Images
Ruslan Malinovskyi 7/10
(On for Shaparenko, 70'): Was a real threat and so close to scoring direct from corner. AP
Vladyslav Vanat 6/10
(On for Yaremchuk, 70'): Added some energy up front, won his side a corner from which they almost scored. AFP
Taras Stepanenko 6/10
(On for Brazhko, 70'): Slotted into the midfield and offered fresh legs. Getty Images
Koen Casteels 7/10
BELGIUM RATINGS. Dealt well with what came his way including close shave with late corner. AFP
Timothy Castagne 5/10
Gave ball away more than once, attacking contribution limited to one decent cross. AFP
Wout Faes 5/10
Overly rash at times and troubled by Yaremchuk. Dealt with a Dovbyk break late in the game and followed that up with a brave block. AFP
Jan Vertonghen 5/10
Steady display although now lacks the mobility of old and looked rooted to the spot when one on one. AFP
Arthur Theate 5/10
Got up and down well but distribution was wild. AFP
Amadou Onana 6/10
Solid out of possession and careful with it, but contributed to slow tempo when moving the ball. AFP
Youri Tielemans 5/10
Looked surprised to be withdrawn but probably shouldn't have been. AP
Kevin De Bruyne 7/10
Cut a frustrated figure. Looked the most likely to make something happen for his side. Super pass to release Lukaku and almost scored with audacious free-kick. Getty Images
Leandro Trossard 4/10
Offered very little from right flank. AFP
Romelu Lukaku 4/10
Missed his side's best chance with scuffed finish. Some decent play with back to goal in second half. Reuters
Jeremy Doku 4/10
Started brightly but decision-making became increasingly erratic. AP
Yannick Carrasco 6/10
BELGIUM SUBS. (On for Trossard, 62'): Added some zip to Belgian attack but did try and dive for late penalty. EPA
Orel Mangala 5/10
(On for Tielemans, 62'): Struggled with lively Ukrainian midfield runners. AFP
Johan Bakayoko 5/10
(On for Doku, 77'): One wild shot but not much time to make an impact. ReutersLois Openda N/A
