🎥 World Cup highlights: Belgium's statement win! Late drama for Iran | OneFootball

Could there really be something to the eternal dark horse known as Belgium after all? We wouldn’t go quite that far, but one thing is clear: the Belgians claimed an emphatic statement win early this morning and finish their group in first place.

They steamrolled New Zealand 5–1. Leandro Trossard shone with a brace, Kevin De Bruyne also got on the scoresheet, and Romelu Lukaku needed only a few moments after coming on to immediately show off his striker’s instincts.

Belgium’s goal fest in the video:
