Lukaku opens his tally with a decisive goal against Turkey

Romelu Lukaku found the back of the net again by scoring his first goal of the season against Turkey, his 94th with the Red Devils, barely ten minutes after coming on. The goal, set up by De Ketelaere, ended the suspense and gave Belgium its third goal of the evening.

A performance that revives Belgian hopes

The great striker told RTL's microphone: « My goal? It's just the feeling of being there at the right moment. Charles made a very good play and we had to be there ». He reminded that « hard work always pays off », emphasizing the importance of collective focus.

After the 3‑0 victory, Lukaku commented on the first half: « In the first half, they had plenty of chances and we were lucky. That's football. We were efficient. Kevin scored two very beautiful goals. ». He added that the Red Devils were « happy » in front of an exceptional crowd.

Outlook on his future at Fenerbahçe

The Belgian also discussed his club situation, stating that « they have looked too much to the past. They could have handled it differently, but I will talk about it soon with the club. I am returning to Fenerbahçe to fight for my place. ». He expressed hope of coming back « with a different status ».

Brian Pierard, web journalist, highlighted that the ongoing silence at Fenerbahçe does not prevent Lukaku from showing that he is fit, as his goal against Turkey demonstrates.

The top scorer of the Red Devils is already looking ahead to the next challenge, the match in Paris against France, stating: « We will need to be there in competitor mode to get a result. ». Votrei Tielemans, teammate, added: « We must try to make better decisions. »
