Romelu Lukaku continued his stunning domestic form by scoring a double for Belgium in a 3-0 win over Russia on Saturday.
There was some doubt as to whether Belgium's game with Russia in St Petersburg would go ahead after Christian Eriksen collapsed during Denmark's clash with Finland in the previous game.
But the Danish Football Association gave the all clear after reporting Eriksen was awake in hospital.
Lukaku opened the scoring after 10 minutes and paid tribute to his Inter Milan teammate Eriksen.
A routine cross from Dries Mertens went through the legs of Andrei Semonov to Lukaku who instinctively dragged an instant shot on the turn past Anton Shunin from 12 yards out.
The 28-year-old spun away in celebration and made straight for the touchline camera, shouting "Chris, Chris, I love you," into the lens.
Lukaku sends a message to Inter teammate Eriksen
An early goal released a mountain of pressure on Belgium, shook up after witnessing Eriksen's collapse, and allowed them to overrun a tepid Russia side.
Eden Hazard, starting on the bench, watched as his brother Thorgan helped set up Belgium's second.
The Borussia Dortmund star swung in a cross from the left which Shunin could only parry. Thomas Meunier swept up the rebound, only six minutes after coming on for the injured Timothy Castagne.
Russia coach Stanislav Cherchesov made three substitutions at half-time but they continued to make little threat in the second-half despite support from 34,000 local crowd.
With two minutes left in the game, Lukaku finished off the victory with his 40th goal for club and country this season after finishing calmly past Shunin.
Belgium players celebrate together
Real Madrid winger Hazard came off the bench late as he looks to regain fitness, while the Red Devils still have Kevin De Bruyne to come back from a fractured eye socket.
Meanwhile, Russia will have some serious analysis to do over the next few days if they want to turn things around in their next group game against Finland on Wednesday.
Roberto Martinez's Belgium will take Denmark in Copenhagen on Thursday.
