De Bruyne Brace Eases Belgium to Victory

Man of the Match Performance from Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne was in scintillating form on Thursday night as his brace guided Belgium to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Estonia in their World Cup qualifier.

The Manchester City playmaker opened the scoring in the 53rd minute with a trademark left-footed strike from outside the box.

He then sealed the win with a cool finish in the 83rd minute after being set up by Romelu Lukaku.

Belgium Dominate from Start to Finish

Belgium were in control of the game from the outset and created a number of chances in the first half.

However, they were unable to break down a resolute Estonian defense until De Bruyne's opener.

Estonia rarely threatened the Belgian goal and were ultimately well beaten.

De Bruyne Continues to Impress

De Bruyne's performance was yet another reminder of his quality.

The 29-year-old is one of the best midfielders in the world and is playing a key role in Belgium's bid to qualify for the World Cup.

With De Bruyne in their team, Belgium will be confident of progressing through their qualifying group and reaching the finals in Qatar.
