Eden Hazard was the key to an impressive Belgium win to continue their Euro 2016 bid, as the improving side downed Hungary 4-0 to make the quarter-finals.
Toby Alderweireld's early header - only his second international goal – got the ball rolling as Marc Wilmots' men booked a last-eight tie against Wales next Friday.
A brilliant goalkeeping display from 40-year-old Gabor Kiraly kept Hungary in with a chance – the pick of his saves seeing him push Kevin De Bruyne's free-kick on to the crossbar.
Hungary pushed for a leveller in the second half, but Hazard's late intervention ended any hope of a comeback.
Hazard set up substitute Michy Batshuayi to score with his first touch, before netting with an excellent solo strike himself as two goals in as many minutes ensured Belgium's progression.
Another substitute, Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, then slotted past Kiraly in the last minute to add gloss to the scoreline.
