Lukaku then doubled the score after his earlier goal was ruled out for offside.

Finland played very defensively in this match, but created seven chances which unfortunately none of them were on target. In contrast, Belgium released 17 goal attempts, two of which were on target.

Belgium will face the best third-placed team, in Sevilla on 27 June.

Denmark, who finished second in Group B after a 4-1 win over Russia on the same day and time, will face Wales in Amsterdam on June 26.

Meanwhile, Finland will have to wait to find out if it will become the best third place in order to qualify for the knockout round.
