Kevin De Bruyne scored twice as Belgium beat Turkey 3-0, while France were held 1-1 by Italy in the Nations League on Friday. Napoli midfielder De Bruyne, in his 127th match for the Belgians, scored the opening goal, playing a nice one-two with Dodi Lukebakio before a cool finish from the edge of the box. While Belgium looked threatening without creating many clear-cut chances, Turkey posed the greater attacking danger after De Bruyne's opener, but they had no reward for their efforts in the Belgian city of Liege. De Bruyne claimed a second, curling a ball from the edge of the box past Turkey goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir into the top corner, and a third came from Romelu Lukaku, Belgium's all-time record goalscorer, who had replaced Lukebakio.
