Eden Hazard was back to his best on Sunday night as the Belgian captain and his teamates handed Hungary a 4-0 demolition.
Belgium set the ball rolling in the 10th minute through a Toby Alderwield goal.
The Red Devils dominated the match and only excellent keeping from Gabor Kiraly and some poor finishing prevented them from getting more goals in the first half.
Although Hungary had brief moments in the final third of the half with long strikes from Balasz Dzsudzsak and Gergo Lovrencsics, they just couldn’t put one past Thibaut Courtois.
Belgium picked off from where they left off in the second half as the colossal Hazard grabbed the headlines when he orchestrated a goal for substitute Batshuayi Tunga in the 76th minute.
The Chelsea midfielder went on an excellent run down the left flank, and played in a delightful ball into the middle for the striker who poked the ball in to make it 2-0.
Hazard was the architect and finisher of his own goal in the 79th minute when he went on a solo run down the left flank again and skipped past defenders to tuck in a beautiful strike into the bottom corner of the net to make it 3-0.
Carrasco topped the tremendous performance by the well-talented Belgian side when he scored the fourth and final goal of the night in injury time.
Belgium is now in the quarter-finals of the Uefa Euro 2016 competition and will face Wales.
