The baby-faced Goffin, who had lost in the third round of qualifying, was inserted in the main draw after France's Gael Monfils pulled out injured.
In front of an ecstatic flag-waving Belgian crowd on the tiny Court 7, Goffin outplayed Kubot, the world number 49, wrapping it up after two hours and 32 minutes with a jaw-dropping forehand passing shot.
He will next face either Swiss third seed and 16-times grand-slam champion Roger Federer or Frenchman Nicolas Mahut.
