Belgium beat Italy 4-1 on Sunday in their final Nations League group match. The win sent Mark van Bommel's side into the quarter-finals as runners-up in Group B.
In Brussels, Senne Lammens made two fine saves in a lively start. Italy then took the lead through Francesco Pio Esposito, who finished from close range after a swift counter-attack.
Van Bommel's side responded almost immediately. Maxim De Cuyper made it 1-1 from close range after Charles De Ketelaere cleverly passed the ball into the penalty area. Belgium then went 2-1 up through Nathan Ngoy, who fired into the roof of the net.
After a fine individual run, Jérémy Doku fired in Belgium's third. The Red Devils had taken top spot in Group A of the Nations League.
Kevin De Bruyne, who has been linked with PSV, struck the post shortly before half-time. At the other end, Niccolo Pisilli headed wide for Italy, who had little answer to Belgium after a strong start.
