The Belgians reacted well after their very disappointing first match against the Netherlands, losing 4-1 at home, and revived in this group 4 dominated by the Dutch.
Yet it was the Poles who opened the scoring at the Roi-Baudouin stadium by the inevitable center-forward of Bayern Munich (28th).
Then the Red Devils had to wait until the end of the first period to equalize thanks to Witsel with a fine strike (1-1, 42nd).
De Bruyne gave Belgium the advantage shortly before the hour mark (2-1, 59th), then lightning fell on the Polish team who conceded four goals in the last twenty minutes.
Completely dominating, the teammates of Eden Hazard, who played 66 minutes, first broke through his replacement Trossard (3-1, 73rd).
The same Brighton striker scored the double seven minutes later (4-1, 80th), just before Dendoncker, another Premier League player at Wolverhampton, scored a fifth goal (5-1, 83rd).
The sinking of the Poles ended with an Openda goal in stoppage time. The Belgians will face Wales in three days, beaten 2-1 in Cardiff on Wednesday by the Netherlands, then they will go in Poland on June 14.
