Belgium secured qualification for the 2018 World Cup on Sunday by winning 2-1 away to Greece.

Romelu Lukaku scored what proved to be the winning goal and the victory ensured Belgium top spot in European qualifying Group H.

They join Brazil, Iran, Japan, Mexico and hosts Russia in guaranteeing a place at next year’s finals.

Belgium bossed the game but only made the breakthrough in the 70th minute when Jan Vertonghen scored from distance.

However, Zeca equalised for Greece in no time, volleying in three minutes later.

Lukaku then put his side back into the lead just two minutes later as Thomas Meunier’s cross from the right was nodded home emphatically by the Manchester United striker.

The 2-1 win saw Belgium become the first team from Europe to confirm their World Cup qualification.
