Belgium beat Italy on Monday night to become the eighth and final side to qualify for the quarter-finals of UEFA Women’s Euro 2022.
Tine De Caigny scored the winning goal as Belgium cruised to a 1-0 victory at Manchester City’s Academy Stadium to finish second in Group D.
Belgium are the only team to reach the quarter-finals of Euro 2022 with less than six points in the group stage, having drawn 1-1 with Iceland in their opening game before losing 2 -1 against France last week.

Elsewhere on Monday, Dagny Brynjarsdottir converted an 11th-minute penalty in added time to hand Iceland a 1-1 draw against France.
Despite losing their record by 100%, France still qualified as Group D winners, while Iceland were eliminated despite being unbeaten in the tournament.
France have been given a tough route to the semi-finals as they need to beat defending champions Holland.
Meanwhile, Belgium’s reward for second place in Group D is a quarter-final clash with Sweden, who topped Group C ahead of the Netherlands on goal difference.
Tournament hosts England take on Spain in the first quarter-final at the AMEX Stadium in Brighton on Wednesday.
Germany v Austria will take place in Brentford on Thursday, before the other two semi-finals take place in Leigh and Rotherham.
