GOAL! Hungary 0-4 Belgium (Carrasco, 90 min): Belgium finish in style as Nainggolan picks up the ball inside Hungary's final third and draws the opponent's two centre-backs towards him. This creates the space to his left and he threads through Carrasco into the box. Kiraly rushes from his line but the Belgium slots the ball inside his near post and wheels away in celebration.
FULL TIME: Hungary 0-4 Belgium
Despite a 20 minute spell in the second half in which Hungary looked like they might claw their way back into it, Belgium's class ultimately proved too much as Eden Hazard in particular ran riot down the left flank. The Chelsea man bagged himself an excellent goal and an assist to propel Belgium into the quarter finals. A well deserved win as one of the tournament's favourites finally showed what they're capable of.
Man of the match Hazard
3 – Eden Hazard has provided as many assists for #BEL at #Euro2016 as he did for Chelsea in the entire 2015/16 PL season (3). Resurgent.
