That's all from me. Thanks for reading, and for your emails. Our Nations League round-up will be on the website shortly. Bye!
Belgium looked nothing short of electric in spells against Italy tonight. Remember, they are missing arguably their best player in Jérémy Doku (injured) but De Bruyne rolled back the years in the first half and Mika Godts was a relevation in just his third cap. It's crazy that the PSG winger didn't make Rudi Garcia's World Cup squad, but Van Bommel obviously believes in the former Ajax man.
Italy were very underwhelming, although they had their moments. I don't really understand why the uncapped Kayode wasn't used at all, even from the bench. The Brentford right back has been in sublime form this season. Mancini has plenty of work to do and needs a result of some sort away in Turkey on Monday. If only to turn the tide in the PR battle.
France might look like the best international XI on paper but they are still a work in progress, and how Zidane tinkers with the team and squad will be very interesting over this international break and beyond. Should Kylian Mbappé's injury be serious – and we don't know any details at present but the Real Madrid man was clutching his knee as he left the field – then that will have heavy ramifications for both club and country. France play Belgium away on Monday, so things don't get any easier for Zizou and co.
Here's a great stat, courtesy of Opta: before tonight's victory in Georgia, Northern Ireland were the only one of 55 nations to play in the Nations League and have never won an away match.
Consider that one ticked off then: Georgia 0-1 Northern Ireland.
Ukraine cling on for an excellent victory in Budapest. They join Northern Ireland as joint early leaders of League B Group 2.
"For all the quality in attack and defence, France seems to lack options in midfield," emails Kári Tulinius. "Deschamps tried to fix that problem by overloading up front, but that didn't work against Spain. It'll be interesting to see how Zidane solves that problem."
France's away fans, bouncing away in delight high in the stands, look happy enough, it should be noted. Lacroix played well for France, which tells you all you need to know about how dominant France were (or weren't).
Zizou starts with a victory, but only just. Turkey away is never an easy place to go, but this was far from convincing. And there will be concern for Mbappé, who looked in real pain after scoring for France. He was forced off shortly afterwards. Not what Real Madrid need after Barcelona's rapid start to the season.
90+6 min: Turkey 0-1 France
Turkey are pushing for the equaliser, despite being down to 10 men. Zidane looks nervous – not a sentence I have ever typed before – but France look like they are going to hold on. Demiral desperately hurls himself to the floor as he tries in vain to win a penalty for Turkey, but the referee waves play on. Upamecano didn't touch him.
Romania ran Sweden close, but the quality of Isak and Gyökeres proved just too much. A good win for Graham Potter.
Goalless in Warsaw. Not a classic.
It's all over in Rome, as Belgium close out a very impressive first win for Van Bommel. There are a few afters at the final whistle, with Donnarumma clashing with Lukaku. The Italy fans in the Stadio Olympico are not happy, and are letting Roberto Mancini know.
Heartbreak for Cyprus! The former (and fiery) Preston striker Osmajic latches onto a knockdown and stoops to head Montenegro into a late lead!
86 min: Barcola is sent clean through and touches the ball around the onrushing Ugurcan Cakir, who advances out of his area and blocks the ball from going past! Was that with his arm?! It was close to his shoulder, but I think it looks like a handball, the ball 'saved' with his upper arm but outside the Turkey box. Initially, the referee waves play but after going to the monitor to check, dismisses Ugurcan Cakir. Turkey protest, as is their wont, but it's the correct decision.
Altay Bayindir, the Manchester United keeper on loan at Celta Vigo, comes on for 10-man Turkey.
83 min: Italy 0-2 Belgium
Italy are desperately trying to get back into this, to no avail. A Tonali corner rolls all the way across the Belgian six-yard box, with no player in Azzurri blue there to turn it home. Scalvini has another great opportunity from a set piece but can't convert!
80 min: Turkey 0-1 France
Zidane brings on Barcola (for Olise) and Camavinga (for Cherki) as he looks to wrestle back some sort of control in the match. France have looked really poor in the last 15 minutes. Turkey could easily be level.
78 min: Hungary 0-1 Ukraine
Hungary are very much in this, pushing for an equaliser. Szoboszlai, operating in the No 10 position for his country, is very much the orchestrater for the hosts.
74 min: Turkey 0-1 France
Turkey seem buoyed by that injury to Mbappé and are pouring forward to score the equaliser. Arda Güler picks the pocket of Koundé and tries a shot from the acute angle when he really should have squared it. Still, Turkey have a corner, from which Maignan drops the ball! Turkey scramble to shoot but France throw bodies on the line and survive. This is by no means a dominant French performance. I can see the L'Equipe ratings now.
70 min: Turkey 0-1 France
"Here's something weird," emails Boring Ink. "On regular TV (DAZN), France is playing right to left. But on French TV (TF1), they are playing left to right. It seems like the French have set up cameras on the opposite side, just to show French advertising hoardings. With the big dug-outs, it looks less 'professional'."
Cyprus' lead evaporates after Krstovic converts from 12 yards, following a blatant foul in the box.
Belgium double their lead! It looked like Van Bommel's decision to replace De Bruyne with Lukébakio was a strange one, but the Benfica forward has an instant impact, cutting inside off the right flank and darting a brilliant shot into the side netting, past Donnarumma. Strike! Italy had been building into the game, but that looks like a terminal blow by Belgium.
60 min: Montenegro 0-1 Cyprus
The last time Cyprus won a competitive international match that wasn't against San Marino or Lithuania was four years ago, when they beat Israel in 2022.
Marcus Edwards, on his international debut for Cyprus, has given the island nation a famous lead in Montenegro! The Burnley winger, born to an English-French father and a Greek Cypriot mother, arrows a brilliant shot into the corner and the Cyprus bench empties! Wow!
56 min: Turkey 0-1 France
Is Mbappé injured?! It looks that way, with the Real Madrid superstar wincing as he wheeled away in celebration of that goal. Mbappé is going to leave the field for treatment, which leaves France with 10 men, temporarily.
Mbappé comes back on, but almost immediately collapses to the turf. He's not going to be able to continue. A terrible blow for France, and Real Madrid, of course!
Who else?! Mbappé scores his 67th international goal and makes Turkey pay for missing those chances just a moment ago! It's a lovely finish to end a scrappy move, the ball pinging around the midfield before Olise took charge and slipped in Mbappé, who converted his trademark finish: opening up his body as though he is going to curl it into the far corner Henry-style (an R2 finish, for the Pro Evo heads out there), before whipping a disguised shot inside the near post! Great goal.
51 min: Turkey 0-0 France
Aydin has a golden opportunity to give Turkey the lead, but the winger can only nod his header down into the turf, which allows Maignan to spring across and tip the ball over the bar. Where was the marking?! Dembele was asleep as Aydin ghosted past him at the back post!
48 min: Turkey 0-0 France
Güler wriggles out of one tackle before an outrageous drag and flick sees the Madrid man pivot around Cherki, who brings him down. A very promising free-kick for Turkey, right on the edge of France's area. Güler over it … but the ball deflects off the wall and squirts juuuuuust wide. Maignan was stranded, if the shot/deflection was on target. Credit to Lacroix in the wall, he got a crucial head on it.
47 min: Italy 0-1 Belgium
Lammens makes a point-blank save to deny Kean! Oooooh, the goalkeeping tonight has been special, and this might be the best save of us: Kean absolutely leathered a first-time shot from a cross low toward the bottom corner but the Manchester United stopper stuck out a right boot and – despite going the other way – somehow connected with the ball to divert it wide!
We are underway again (in most of the games). There seems to be a slight delay with Turkey and France.
Half-time reading (international edition):
France have been the better team but have certainly not been faultless. Turkey are in the game and look dangerous on the counter-attack. France's substitutes could be crucial here, to inject new life into Zidane's attack. He has Barcola and Doué lurking on the bench.
Italy grew into that half, the better side for the final 10 minutes. But Belgium were the dominant side and should really be two or three up. But for Donnarumma, they would be. A very exciting half, if you are Belgian. Van Bommel has got them ticking.
