Kevin De Bruyne was left relieved after Belgium bounced back from defeat to Wales in Euro 2016 qualifying to "boss" Bosnia-Herzegovina, winning 3-1 on Thursday.
Wales beat Belgium 1-0 in June to take charge of Group B and after Edin Dzeko's 15th-minute opener things appeared to be heading down a similarly frustrating and unsuccessful path.
"This is important, a real relief after the defeat in Wales," he told reporters. "We knew we had to be good. Bosnia is not a bad team, but we have shown that we were boss.
"They too were, of course, sometimes dangerous, but we always remained calm. After that equaliser they were never really that dangerous. I think we deserved to have won.
"I saw Israel and Wales also got three points, but we must just keep winning.
"It will be warm in Cyprus on Sunday, but a three-pointer that put us well on the way to the European Championships."
