It was a stroll in the park for Belgium as they scored five past Tunisia during their 2018 FIFA World Cup match played at the Otkritie Arena in Moscow.

Belgium opened the scoring in the sixth minute when their captain, Eden Hazard slotted home a penalty after he was brought down inside the box by Tunisia defender, Syam Ben Youssef.
The Red Devils went two goals ahead after sixteen minutes when Romelo Lukaku made a composed finish after receiving a pass from Dries Mertens.
However Tunisian hopes were raised two minutes later when Dylan Bronn headed the ball past Thibaut Courtois from a free-kick by Wahbi Khazri.
Lukaku then made it 3-1 in the third minute of the stoppage time at the end of the first half when he dinked the ball over Tunisia goalkeeper, Farouk Ben Mustapha after a good run by Thomas Meunier on the right.
It was 4-1 six minutes into the second half when Kevin De Bruyne released Hazard in the middle and the Chelsea man remained composed to slot the ball past Farouk.
It got worse for Tunisia in the 90th minute when Michy Batsuayi latched onto a pass from the right and slotted it past Farouk who had denied the Borussia Dortmund player from scoring on two occasions earlier.
Khazri restored some pride for Tunisia when he slotted the ball past Courtois deep into stoppage time from a cutback but by then Belgium already confirmed as the winner of the match and a place in the knockout round.
