"Belgium continued their strong start to World Cup qualifying with a 6-0 win over Liechtenstein in Group J. Youri Tielemans, who was named as captain by Rudi Garcia this week, scored two goals including a stunning volley, while Maxim De Cuyper, Arthur Theate, Kevin De Bruyne and Malick Fofana all got on the scoresheet as Belgium moved within three points of group leaders Wales with two games in hand."
"Tielemans then doubled their lead less than 30 seconds into the second half when Liechtenstein failed to properly clear a long ball and Tielemans struck a first-time effort beyond the reach of Benjamin Buchel. The visitors then extended their advantage with a quickfire double on the hour mark. Theate, who rattled the woodwork in the first half, headed home from De Cuyper's cross before De Bruyne coolly finished past Buchel two minutes later."
