The Reds broke the deadlock in the 25th minute when Bruno Fernandes recovered from a slip to poke home the opener, a just reward for the pressure exerted on the hosts in the early moments, but there may have been fears of an unlikely upset when Jean-Ricner Bellegarde managed to level the game on the stroke of half-time.
Ruben Amorim's men emerged from the interval undeterred by the late setback, and this time left nothing to chance, with Bryan Mbeumo, Mason Mount and Fernandes, notching a second from the spot, putting us beyond sight, in a game that may even have seen more goals on another day.
