Romelu Lukaku scored twice as Belgium proved too good for World Cup debutants Panama in the opening match in England's Group G, BBC reported.
After a goalless first half, Belgium, ranked third in the world, finally broke Panama's resistance when Dries Mertens steered in a spectacular volley.
Panama, 55th in the rankings, had a chance to snatch an equaliser but Thibaut Courtois was quick off his line to save Michael Murillo's shot with his legs.
