Germany recorded a 3-1 victory over Belgium on Tuesday to finish top of Group A of the Euro 2012 qualifiers with 10 wins from 10 games.
Mesut Oezil and Andre Schuerrle hit the Belgians with a three-minute double salvo midway through the first half to give Germany a two-goal cushion at half-time.
Shortly after the restart Mario Gomez put the cherry on the cake as he added a third goal with a fine strike, which left Simon Mignolet with no chance.
Marouane Fellaini scored a consolation for Belgium just before the final whistle as his team missed out on the play-off spot in the group.
Belgium started the game very well as they tried to pressure Germany s back four right from the beginning.
The hosts, however, defended valiantly as they managed to contain Belgium, whose desperate attempts to breaks the German s rearguard were leaving them exposed on the break.
Schuerrle tried his luck, but narrowly missed in the 15th minute, and moments before that the lively Laurent Ciman had a couple of shots fly over Manuel Neuer s bar. Germany were looking increasingly dangerous on the counter, and soon took the lead.
In the 30th minute Gomez was released in a one-on-one with Mignolet, but was denied by the goalkeeper.
However, the ball made its way to Oezil, who powered a superb shot from outside the box, which hit the bar before nesting in the net.
Germany did not stop there as three minutes later a quick break saw Gomez release Schuerrle on the left flank.
The Bayer Leverkusen attacker made a superb 20-yard run before lifting the ball over the goalkeeper to make it 2-0.
Belgium tried to fight back in the remaining minutes to half-time, but the closest they got to scoring was forcing a superb save from Neuer just before the break through Jan Vertonghen.
In the second period Germany picked up right where they left off as Gomez struck a third just after the restart.
The striker was picked out by Oezil on the edge of the box, superbly managed to neutralise Vincent Kompany, and finished off with a powerful shot in the right corner.
Belgian substitute Romeu Lukaku nearly netted in the 70th minute as he managed to shake off Mats Hummels and hit a magnificent left-footed shot, which Neuer parried superbly.
Belgium did get a goal in the 86th minute through Fellaini, who headed in at the near post, following a corner on the left, but the goal proved a mere consolation as Germany sealed a 100 percent record in qualifying.
