Belgium beat Hungary 4-0 to reach Euro 2016 quarterfinals (updated)

Xinhua, June 27, 2016 Adjust font size:

Atletico midfielder Yannick Carrasco scored the final goal in injury time, helping Belgium beat Hungary 4-0 to reach Euro 2016 quarterfinals on Sunday.

Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld' s header broke the deadlock for Belgium in the 10th minute from De Bruyne's free kick, and substitute Michy Batshuayi scored the second in the 79th minute from captain Hazard' s pass, who scored his own goal just one minute later.

Carrasco, 23, added the final goal in injury time.

"It's great, we're into the quarterfinals after a deserved win," said Hazard. "We could have scored more goals, and although their goalkeeper pulled off some great stops we're not complaining."

"We're in the last eight, we're going to Lille and I hope there will be a lot of Belgians there to support us.

"We're still dreaming of going further in this competition. Now, we have to rest and prepare ourselves for Friday." Hazard said.

Belgium will face Wales in Lille next Friday for a place in the semi-finals. Endit
