(PRIMANOTIZIE) IZMIR – In a Nations League match held in Izmir, Turkey, the Belgium national football team secured a 2-1 victory over the host nation, boosting their points to nine in Group 1 of League A. The win positions Belgium favorably for the upcoming decisive match against Italy, which is likely to determine playoff advancement.
The Turkish side, under new coach Yalcin, started strongly and took the lead in the 20th minute through Arda Guler’s skillful free-kick goal. Guler’s strike from a central free kick found the top corner, leaving goalkeeper Lammens no chance.
Belgium quickly responded in the first half: at the 27th minute, Kevin De Bruyne equalized following a setup by teammate Doku, who had bypassed Aydin. Three minutes later, Doku again played a pivotal role, initiating the move that led to Charles De Ketelaere scoring the go-ahead goal after some initial defensive clearances within the box.
For the remainder of the match, Belgium managed the lead, creating further opportunities but also facing some late challenges from Turkey. This victory marks Belgium’s third in the competition, while Turkey has yet to gain points in the group. (PRIMANOTIZIE)
