PARIS, Oct 3 — Kevin De Bruyne scored twice as Belgium beat Turkey 3-0, while France were held 1-1 by Italy in the Nations League yesterday.
Napoli midfielder De Bruyne, in his 127th match for the Belgians, scored the opening goal, playing a nice one-two with Dodi Lukebakio before a cool finish from the edge of the box.
While Belgium looked threatening without creating many clear-cut chances, Turkey posed the greater attacking danger after De Bruyne’s opener.
But they had no reward for their efforts in the Belgian city of Liege.
Instead, De Bruyne claimed a second, curling a ball from the edge of the box past Turkey goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir into the top corner.
