Great Britain's women overcame some stern early resistance from Belgium to record an impressive 3-0 win in the Olympic hockey tournament.
As a frustrating first half was coming to an end, Ashleigh Ball gave the home side the breakthrough from close range.
Laura Bartlett then scored with a clever reverse-stick finish early in the second and Crista Cullen made it three with a penalty corner late on.
