Thomas Meunier scored in the opening minutes and Eden Hazard added a goal late as Belgium defeated England 2-0 in the World Cup's third-place game in St. Petersburg.
The victory meant Belgium, who lost to France in the semifinals on Tuesday, secured their best finish at a World Cup after having been defeated in the third-place game in 1986.
Meunier scored in the fourth minute after Romelu Lukaku opened the England defence and he turned in Nacer Chadli's low cross from six yards.
It was the earliest goal ever scored by Belgium in a World Cup match, and it made Meunier, an unused substitute in the teams' group-stage game on June 28, the 10th player to score a goal for Belgium in the competition, matching a record held by France in 1982 and Italy in 2006.
