Kevin De Bruyne's Double Lifts Belgium Past Turkey in Nations League
Kevin De Bruyne showcased his talent in Friday night's Nations League match, netting two superb goals in Belgium's 3-0 victory over Turkey.
De Bruyne, a 35-year-old attacking midfielder, inspired the Red Devils to a win just four days after their 1-0 defeat to France. The match, part of the 3rd round of the Nations League, saw Belgium decisively beat Turkey on Friday evening.
The former Manchester City player opened the scoring in the 10th minute. After a quick pass in the center with Dodi LukΓ©bakio, De Bruyne skillfully nutmegged Abdulkerim Bardakci before striking the ball first-time from the edge of the box. His shot was precise, leaving the Turkish goalkeeper with no chance.
A Brace to Seal the Win
De Bruyne struck again an hour into the game, extending Belgium's lead. Receiving the ball near the box from Youri Tielemans, he didn't hesitate to take a shot from about 20 meters. His curling effort found the top corner of Ugurcan Cakir's net, the goalkeeper once again helpless (2-0, 59th minute).
Belgium added a third goal in the final fifteen minutes, courtesy of Romelu Lukaku, to widen the scoreline (3-0, 76th minute). This result places Belgium (6 points) second in Group 1 of the Nations League, trailing only France (7 points).
