Belgium rediscovered their winning touch with an emphatic victory that deepened Turkey's wounds in the 2027 UEFA Nations League.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils beat Turkey 3-0 at the Maurice Dufrasne Stadium today, Friday, in the third round of the group stage of the European tournament.<\/p>\n
Two veterans ran the show. Kevin De Bruyne struck twice, while substitute Romelu Lukaku added the third.<\/p>\n
De Bruyne opened the scoring for the hosts in the 10th minute, dribbling past a visiting defender before rolling the ball along the ground to the goalkeeper's left.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n The Napoli midfielder doubled his tally, and Belgium's, in the 60th minute. He unleashed a rocket from outside the box that the Turkish goalkeeper could not keep out.<\/p>\n Lukaku made his mark after coming off the bench, bagging Belgium's third in the 76th minute by turning a low cross into the net with his right foot.<\/p>\n Belgium bounced straight back after falling into the trap of defeat last time out against France, beaten by a single goal in stoppage time.<\/p>\n The win lifted Turkey's tally to 6 points, placing them second in Group One, a single point behind France ahead of their eagerly awaited clash next Monday.<\/p>\n De Bruyne's side lead Italy, who sit third in the group on 4 points. That leaves the Azzurri in danger of missing out on a semi-final place.<\/p>\n Turkey, meanwhile, slumped to a third consecutive defeat, rooted to the bottom of the group without a single point.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Belgium rediscovered their winning touch with an emphatic victory that deepened Turkey’s wounds in t..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17347,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17327"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17346,"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17327\/revisions\/17346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/berlinnews24.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
