Belgium kicked off their 2024/2025 UEFA Nations League campaign with a convincing 3-1 win over Israel at the Nagyerdei Stadion. Kevin De Bruyne starred for the Red Devils, netting two goals, including a penalty, while Youri Tielemans contributed a stunning strike. Despite an own goal by Timothy Castagne that temporarily leveled the score, Belgium regained control in the second half, showcasing their attacking prowess. This victory marks Belgium's seventh win in their last eight encounters against Israel, further extending Israel's winless streak against Belgium since 1977. The match highlighted De Bruyne's influential role, as he created numerous chances and demonstrated his leadership on the field. Belgium's next challenge is against France, who recently lost to Italy in their opening match of the group.
