Belgium boss Roberto Martinez admitted his side were not at their best in Greece on Sunday but hailed the winning mentality which saw them secure World Cup qualification. Belgian Red Devils sealed a 2-1 victory in Piraeus to become the first European qualifiers aside from host nation Russia.

"We did not play well, but it was not a question of playing well but winning. We played it like a final, and a final should be won. I had asked the team to win at all costs. We have seen the worst half of the campaign but I can be very proud of how we have faced adversity," Martinez said.
