LUKAKU & HAZARD TAKE BELGIUM INTO THE ROUND OF 16


Belgium showed their class with a 5-2 win over Tunisia. The Red Devils were in high confidence as Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard scored two goals each, and booked a place in the knock-out stage. 

After an impressive 3-0 win over Panama, Belgium got off to a strong start, scoring three times in the first half. Belgium took the lead after six minutes. Hazard was fouled inside the danger area, and he converted the penalty to put his team ahead.

Ten minutes later Lukaku finished-off a pass from Hazard to give Belgium two goals up. Dylan Bronn found the net in the 18th minute to give Tunisia a chance to fight back.

But Lukaku scored Belgium's third right before the half-time whistle. The goal made him joint leader with Cristiano Ronaldo in the top scorer leaderboard.

Belgium maintained their superb form after the break. Hazard beat Tunisia's goal keeper again in the 51st minute. Michy Batshuayi scored the fifth goal for Belgium before Tunisia scored another goal in the stoppage time.

The Red Devils have collected six points from two games and are looking good for their last group match against England. They made 12 shots on target from 22 attempts, with just 50% of possession. Tunisia will be eliminated from the tournament if England draw with Panama on Sunday.
