Belgium has become the latest team to book their passage into the last 16 of the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament after securing a 1-0 victory over Russia in their match on Sunday.

Substitute Divock Origi grabbed the solitary goal that made the difference two minutes from time which secured all three points against Russia.

Eden Hazard's cross found Origi who replaced Romelu Lukaku as he turned in the goal that won the match for his team.

Russia's best chance came in the first half when Alexander Kokorin missed an effort heading just wide from six yards.

The Belgians are gradually living up to their tags of dark horses,and with qualification into the knockout stages of the World Cup,they will be a team to avoid in the next round .
