Belgium has swept its first three games of the tournament with convincing wins over Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Gibraltar. No team has so far scored a goal against the Belgians and it looks like that trend will continue in this match against Estonia.

In their last game on Oct. 10, De Rode Duivels crushed Gibraltar, 6-0, at the Estádio Algarve in Faro, Portugal, as per the Mirror.

Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke scored the opening goal in a World Cup qualifying record fashion as the fastest in history with only seven seconds expired in the game. He went on to score two more goals in the 43rd and 56th to pull off a hat trick filling-in for regular starter Romelu Lukaku.

Zenit Saint Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel netted the game's second goal in the 19th minute while Napoli winger Dries Mertens scored in the 51st. The match was sealed by Chelsea forward Eden Hazard in the 79th to complete the team's six-goal masterpiece.

Meanwhile, Estonia was blanked by Greece, 0-2, at their home ground of A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn also on Oct. 10 to fall to their second defeat in the tournament, via the Greek Reporter.

The visitors netted one goal each in the first and second halves with midfielder Vasilis Torosidis scoring in the second minute while Kostas Stafylidis doubling the lead right at the hour mark of the contest.

With the loss, head coach Martin Reim's squad suffered its second shutout in the competitions as they fall to the fourth spot of the group table.

Belgium starting lineup (3-4-3 formation): Courtois; Kompany, Ciman, Vertonghen; Meunier, Witsel, Defour, Carrasco; Mertens, Lukaku, Hazard
