The Belgians reacted after the shocking defeat against Slovakia at the start and showed how much they can do in the duel with Romania.

They celebrated 2:0, and if Romelu Lukaku had more luck and was a little more accurate - probably Domenico Tedesco's team would now be one of the biggest favorites to go all the way to the Euro.

In Cologne against the Romanians, the "devils" scored enough for the victory - Juri Thielemans scored after 74 seconds, and in the 80th minute, Kevin de Bruyne completed the triumph.

All three teams in Group E have three points before the last round: Belgium meets Ukraine, while the Romanians face the Slovaks.

On Sunday, two games will be played, both at 21:XNUMX - in group A there are rivals Scotland and Hungary, and Switzerland and Germany.

There was no dilemma in Dortmund - Portugal demonstrated power against Turkey - 3:0 - and is the third team (after Germany and Spain) to secure the round of XNUMX of the Euro.

Bernardo Silva started the Turks in the 21st minute, and in the 29th, the opponent "destroyed" itself when Samet Akajdin scored a bizarre own goal.

Turkey was not an equal rival after that. In the continuation, the team of Roberto Martinez completely controlled things and at the beginning of the second half, through Bruno Fernandes on a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo, they set the final score.

Turkey remained on three points and in the last round against the Czech Republic, they are playing for placement in the top 16...
