The Belgian doubled, then promptly tripled their lead over little-favoured Panama with two impressive goals in a matter of minutes. The first came in the 69th minute, as Lukaku met the end of a beautifully placed cross from Kevin De Bruyne.
His diving header from seven yards out, comfortably found the back of the net and added to Dries Mertens' opening goal. The Manchester United forward followed it up with another stunner just six minutes later.
Eden Hazard nabbed the assist as he drove forward to set up Lukaku. The 25-year-old then advanced almost into Panama's oncoming goalkeeper Jaime Penedo, before poking it over the top into the bottom right-hand corner.
