Kazakhstan held firm for the opening 40 minutes, but braces from Kevin De Bruyne and former Manchester City team-mate Jeremy Doku ensured Belgium stayed unbeaten. Belgium's dominant start was rewarded three minutes before half-time when De Bruyne sent a wonderful curling shot from outside the area beyond Mukhamedjan Seysen."

They have now scored in 23 consecutive World Cup qualifying matches, which is their longest ever run,"
