Overview
- Belgium defeated Turkey 3-0 in Liège on Friday, with Kevin De Bruyne scoring in the 10th and 59th minutes and Romelu Lukaku adding a 76th-minute goal.
- De Bruyne's two strikes were his 39th and 40th for Belgium and Lukaku's goal was reported as his 94th international strike.
- Kevin De Bruyne and Youri Tielemans will be suspended for Belgium's next Nations League game against France because each reached the two-yellow-card threshold in the international window.
- The win gives coach Marc van Bommel his second victory in three matches and moves Belgium into second place in Group A1 of the UEFA Nations League.
- Turkey have suffered a third straight Nations League loss, increasing pressure on coach Vincenzo Montella and raising questions about the team's form after a disappointing World Cup.
