Belgium thrashed Pakistan 5-0 in the third crossover match of the Hockey World Cup to qualify for the quarter-finals on Tuesday. With his loss, Pakistan's campaign at the men's hockey World Cup finally came to an end.&nbsp;

Staring the match as favourites, the Red Lions toyed with the Pakistani defence which somehow managed to hold on in the opening 10 minutes.&nbsp;

But soon, Belgium scored in each quarter with Alexander Hendrickx (10th minute), Thomas Briels (13th), Cédric Charlier (27th), Sébastien Dockier (35th) and Tom Boon (53rd) finding the target.&nbsp;

Down by four goals, Pakistan knew it was the end of the road for them. It was a one way thereafter as Belgium made all the forays and earned two more penalty corners in the process.&nbsp;

The last penalty corner resulted in a penalty stroke as the ball hit the body of a Pakistani defender and Boon made no mistake in converting the chance.

Belgium will now face Germany in the quarters.
