Belgium cruised to the second victory of their UEFA Nations League campaign with a thrilling show of attacking menace after Iceland took a surprise lead.


The visitors should have been ahead after five minutes, Hólmbert Fridjónsson clearing the bar with a free header from a classy Birkir Bjarnason cross. Fridjónsson's speculative shot from outside the penalty area then took a huge deflection, looping over debutant Koen Casteels to open the scoring.

Perhaps provoked, Belgium responded almost immediately, Dries Mertens curling a free-kick against the angle before Axel Witsel converted from the rebound.

Michy Batshuayi punished Ögmundur Kristinsson's spillage, then tapped in his second after Mertens had found a clever finish from Kevin De Bruyne's typically perceptive pass to make it 3-1 after the break.
