Belgium got their Euro 2024 campaign back on track after an impressive 2-0 win against Romania, with goals from Youri Tielemans and Kevin De Bruyne enough to take the points and leave Group E wide open.

Romelu Lukaku was the architect of the first Belgian goal and teed Tielemans up perfectly to fire home a superb effort from just inside the area in the second minute.

De Bruyne had chances throughout a polished Belgian performance and doubled the lead with 10 minutes left when he latched on to a long ball from goalkeeper Koen Casteels and found the net from seven metres out.

The result leaves all four teams in Group E on three points going into the Wednesday’s final matches, when Belgium take on Ukraine and Romania face Slovakia.

Belgium vs Romania

Next up, Belgium take on Romania following their 1-0 loss to Slovakia. The Red Devils suffered a shock loss in their Group E opener and now have to perform against Romania to keep themselves in contention to reach the next round.

Defeat to Romania in Cologne would not eliminate Belgium, but it would be a huge blow to their chances of progressing to the last 16.

For their part, Romania can secure their spot in the knockouts having hammered Ukraine in their opener. It was their first win at the Euros for 24 years. Can they follow up with another one?

Turkey v Portugal player ratings as Bernardo Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo thrive in confident display

Portugal secured qualification for the round of 16 at Euro 2024 with a confident and dominant display against a frazzled and frustrated Turkey.

The Turks should have taken the lead early on following a fine run down the wing from Zeki Celik. A cross curled over to the back post where Kerem Akturkoglu edged ahead of Joao Cancelo only to fluff his shot. It was a great chance missed and Roberto Martinez’s team then took command.

It’s made an embarrassment of the stadium security, and unsurprisingly Ronaldo looks quite irritated.
