Friendly internationals: Belgium beat Iceland, more Netherlands woe, Norway lose

Second-half goals from substitute pair Divock Origi and Romelu Lukaku lifted Belgium to a 3-1 friendly victory over plucky Iceland in Brussels.

The visitors entered the contest on the back of a five-match winning run, which included a 2-0 triumph over Netherlands last month, and held their own against their opponents, for whom stars such as Eden Hazard, Marouane Fellaini and Adnan Januzaj started.

Despite Belgium, who have four points from their opening two European Championship qualifiers, taking a 10th-minute lead through Nicolas Lombaerts, they were pegged back almost straight away by Alfred Finnbogason.

But second-half substitutes Origi and Everton striker Lukaku struck in the 62nd and 73rd minutes to end the resolve of Iceland, who top their Euro 2016 qualifying group after three straight wins.

They will be looking to move on to 12 points in Group A when they travel to the Czech Republic on Sunday, when Belgium will be looking to topple Wales in Group B.

Elsewhere, Carlos Vela marked his international return with two goals as Mexico heaped more woe on Guus Hiddink's Netherlands in a friendly at the Amsterdam ArenA on Wednesday night.

Vela, who had not played for his national team for over three years, took just eight minutes to get back on the scoresheet as Miguel Herrera's men held out for an exciting 3-2 win.

Wesley Sneijder's fine strike levelled matters before Vela scored his second. Javier Hernandez put Mexico 3-1 up before Manchester United's Daley Blind reduced the deficit but the Netherlands failed to avoid their fourth defeat in five games sicne the World Cup.

Norway slipped to a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Estonia, who scored the only goal of the game through Konstantin Vassiljev's strike midway through the first half.

Per-Mathias Hogmo's men could not find a way back in Oslo, despite 15-year-old prodigy Martin Odegaard coming off the bench just before the hour mark for his fourth cap.
