Belgium became the first European side to qualify for World Cup 2018 after beating Greece 2-1 to top Group H, while France suffered a setback on the road to Russia.

Romelu Lukaku's 75th minute winner earned Belgium victory in Piraeus and passage to next summer's tournament, leaving Greece battling Bosnia for a play-off spot.

Bosnia and Herzegovina thrashed Gibraltar 4-0 in the other Group H game, moving into second place ahead of Greece.

The French failed to break through in a 0-0 with minnows Luxembourg in Toulouse to move top of Group A but only by one point.

Portugal beat 10-man Hungary 1-0 to keep the pressure on Group B leaders Switzerland, who thrashed Latvia 3-0.
