Belgium began their 2020 UEFA European Championship qualifying campaign in style on Thursday, defeating Russia 3-1 in Group I.
The home side took minimal time to establish the lead as Youri Tielemans scored the opener after 14 minutes.
However, a desperate mistake by Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois with the ball at his feet allowed Denis Cheryshev to smash home the equaliser just two minutes later.
The Red Devils turned the screw and made it 2-1 on the stroke of half-time. Eden Hazard calmly despatched a penalty after Yuri Zhirkov had fouled the Chelsea superstar.
