Belgium blitzes Tunisia as it eyes path to final

With heavy favorites Argentina, Spain, Germany and Brazil struggling to find their World Cup footing, a path to the final may be opening up for Belgium, which blitzed Tunisia 5-2 Saturday, giving it two dominant victories in as many games in Russia.

Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku had two first-half goals, Eden Hazard added two others, one in each half, before second-half substitute Michy Batshuayi closed out the Belgian scoring with a minute left in regulation.

Dylan Bronn scored for Tunisia in the first half and Wahbi Khazri added a second goal in stoppage time before a sellout crowd of 44,190 at Spartak Stadium.
