Belgium secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Türkiye in a UEFA Nations League match held in Liege on Friday. Kevin De Bruyne was instrumental in the win, scoring twice to help his team climb to six points in Group A1, trailing group leaders France by just one point.
The match saw De Bruyne open the scoring for Belgium with a precise shot from the edge of the penalty area after a clever exchange with Dodi Lukebakio. Türkiye, eager to level the score, pushed forward but failed to capitalize on their opportunities. De Bruyne then extended Belgium’s lead with a well-placed curling shot into the top corner of the net.
Romelu Lukaku, who entered the game as a substitute in the 61st minute, sealed the victory for Belgium 15 minutes later. Lukaku converted a low cross from Charles De Ketelaere from close range, marking the third goal of the match.
This defeat marks Türkiye’s third consecutive loss in the Nations League, leaving them at the bottom of Group A1 without any points from their three matches. Türkiye will face Italy next on October 5, but will be without Arda Güler and Barış Alper Yılmaz, who are suspended due to yellow card accumulations.
