Sochi, June 19 (IBNS): Panama had a poor start to their World Cup campaign as Belgium defeated them by 3-0 margin in a World Cup clash here on Monday.
Romelu Lukaku shined for Belgium as he scored twice to give Belgium an upper edge in the match.

Lukaku then made sure he adds two more to ensure 3-0 victory for the side.
Belgium will now face Tunisia in the next match.
