Belgium set a quarterfinal with Wales after a resounding 4-0 win over Hungary

Eden Hazard scored his first goal of Euro 2016 as Belgium cruised into the quarter-finals with a 4-0 win that ended Hungary’s fairytale campaign.

Belgium go into the European Championship quarter-finals for the first time since losing the 1980 final. They were dominant throughout at Stadium de Toulouse after Toby Alderweireld headed them into a 10th minute lead.

The Red Devils wasted a series of great chances to finish the game before Michy Batshuayi, with his first touch as a substitute, Hazard and Yannick Carrasco scored in the last 12 minutes.

Belgium now battle Wales in Lille, near the French-Belgian border, for a place in the semi-finals.

Hungary impressively won their group but if they struck any fear into Belgian hearts it did not show.

From Kevin De Bruyne’s speculative fourth-minute strike that sailed over Gabor Kiraly’s crossbar, the Red Devils were too hot for a Hungary making their return to a major tournament three decades after the 1986 World Cup.

Almost from kick-off, Kiraly was kept busy as Romelu Lukaku, then De Bruyne, after Hazard’s superb delivery, tested the goalkeeper.

With Belgian nerves settled, Hazard in particular dazzled fans with some mazy runs, dribbles, and sublime passes that carved open the Hungarian defence.

But a lack of clinical finishing left Belgium at risk during an encouraging Hungary fightback in the second half.

Immediately after the restart, Kiraly palmed over Hazard’s right-footed drive, but Hungary came fighting back. Striker Adam Szalai fired into the side-netting before rising above the Belgian defence to send a deflected header wide.

But Belgium responded in style.

Michy Batshuayi came off the bench to punish Hungary when he ran in unmarked after the hour to first-time his shot past Kiraly.

The ‘keeper was then left clutching at thin air when Hazard ran across the edge of the area unchallenged to beat him at his far post.

Carrasco, another substitute, added their fourth in the first minute of added time when he powered down the middle on the counter to beat Kiraly.
