Kevin De Bruyne scored twice, leading Belgium to a 3-0 victory over Turkey in their Nations League match.

The win marks a third consecutive loss for Turkey, leaving Belgium in second place. Elsewhere, Italy held France to a 1-1 draw, Poland's Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick in a 6-0 win against Romania, Northern Ireland defeated Ukraine 3-0, and Hungary and Sweden drew 1-1.
