- Belgium qualified for next year's World Cup with a comfortable 3-1 victory
- Christian Benteke scored early to give the hosts the lead against Estonia
- Yannick Carrasco and Thorgan Hazard sealed their passage to Qatar
Belgium qualified for next year's World Cup finals and kept up their unbeaten qualifying run as they beat Estonia 3-1 in Brussels on Saturday.
The Belgians, semi-finalists in Russia in 2018, climbed to an unassailable 19 points in Group E as Christian Benteke scored early and Yannick Carrasco and Thorgan Hazard added second-half goals.
Belgium join Brazil, Denmark, France and Germany among the first five countries to qualify for next year’s finals in Qatar.
But it was in fact a wasteful display from Belgium, whose supporters were expecting more of a goal feast at the King Baudouin Stadium to celebrate qualifying for a third successive World Cup.
