"Jeremy Doku continued his fine recent form with a seven-minute double. He drilled his first into the bottom-right corner in the 34th minute before then latching onto a loose clearance and skipping to the edge of the box to pick out the same spot for his second. Emanuel Zund then hit his own post before Belgium well and truly put the game out of sight with four goals in the space of seven second-half minutes, with De Ketelaere heavily involved."
"After a disappointing 1-1 draw with Kazakhstan forced Belgium to wait to secure qualification, they made a fast start on Tuesday, with Hans Vanaken nodding a deflected cross in from close range after just three minutes. Vanaken then missed two chances to add to Belgium's lead before Youri Tielemans slashed a low effort across goal, which was dealt with by Andreas Malin."
