De Bruyne과 De Ketelaere의 골로 Belgium이 Türkiye를 2-1로 이기다

All three goals were scored before half-time. Türkiye led through Güler in the 20th minute, but De Bruyne equalised in the 27th and De Ketelaere put Belgium ahead in the 30th. Neither team scored after the interval. Belgium recorded their third group victory.

The match took place on 12 November at Gürsel Aksel Stadium in İzmir. Italy’s 3-1 win over France later that evening tightened Group A1: Italy and France have ten points each, Belgium nine and Türkiye none. Belgium now host Italy in the decisive round on 15 November.

All three goals were scored in ten minutes

Güler gave Türkiye the lead, but the score remained 1-0 for only seven minutes. De Bruyne equalised, and De Ketelaere then scored Belgium’s second goal. Belgium led 2-1 at half-time.

• 20 minutes: Arda Güler puts Türkiye ahead.
• 27 minutes: Kevin De Bruyne equalises.
• 30 minutes: Charles De Ketelaere scores Belgium’s winner.
• Full-time: Türkiye 1-2 Belgium.

Mark van Bommel’s starting side included Lammens in goal, with Castagne, Ngoy, Mechele and De Cuyper in defence. Raskin and Tielemans also started, alongside De Bruyne, Moreira, De Ketelaere and Doku. Trossard and Lukebakio replaced De Bruyne and Moreira in the 69th minute.

Neither team scores in the second half

Türkiye introduced Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Deniz Gül for Orkun Kökçü and Enes Ünal in the 58th minute. Zeki Çelik and Salih Özcan followed for Oğuz Aydın and İsmail Yüksek in the 70th. Can Uzun replaced Barış Alper Yılmaz with ten minutes remaining.

Belgium replaced De Ketelaere and Doku with Cuypers and Godts in the 80th minute. Vanaken replaced Raskin in added time. Belgium kept the 2-1 lead and recorded its second victory over Türkiye in this Nations League group.

Belgium won the earlier match against Türkiye 3-0. Belgium also beat Italy 2-0, but lost both matches against France. After five rounds, Belgium have three wins and two defeats. The team has scored eight goals and conceded six.

Türkiye have lost all five group matches and will finish fourth. Their result against France cannot change that position. Belgium will qualify for the quarter-finals if they beat Italy. Belgium do not need another result to secure a top-two place in that case.

Belgium have nine points before the final group match.
