Report
A brace from Romelu Lukaku and goals for Mertens and Batshuayi give Belgium a 4-1 win over Costa Rica in Brussels to ensure that the Red Devils head to Russia unbeaten in over 20 months.
Oscar Ramirez's side may have taken an early lead thanks to captain Bryan Ruiz, but on the basis of their showing tonight, they will struggle to repeat their run to the quarter-finals from 2014 without a distinct upturn in fortunes.
The Red Devils will be hopeful of going on to greater things under the leadership of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne; at full-time, it finishes Belgium 4-1 Costa Rica.
