Hannes  Thor Halldorsson parried Vincent Kompany's header, but Lukaku prodded the  rebound just over the line for a second goal in three minutes.   The hosts came out rejuvenated at the start of the second half but, once  again, it did not last and Thomas Meunier should have added a third when he  turned Hazard's pinpoint cross wide. The same man struck the foot of the post  shortly afterwards when he looked destined to score, dashing into the area on  the right and shooting low past the goalkeeper.   Gylfi Sigurdsson belatedly stung the palms of Thibaut Courtois with Iceland's  first effort of note, yet there never appeared a real danger of Belgium ceding  their comfortable advantage and Lukaku beat Ingason to a low cross to net the  third.</blockquote>
