In front of Belgium's royal family, “King Kev” sealed the win.

Belgium shook off the shock of losing to Slovakia in its opening game of the European Championship by beating Romania 2-0 on Saturday.

Kevin De Bruyne's second-half goal completed the win after Youri Tielemans scored in the second minute at Cologne Stadium.

Watching on were Belgium's King Philippe and Queen Mathilde.

"We knew what we needed to do. We needed to win otherwise we were going home, De Bruyne said. "I will do everything I can to keep the lads on track."

This was just what Belgium needed after the Slovakia stunner, which raised the prospect of another early exit from a major tournament after being eliminated at the group stage of the 2022 World Cup.

Tielemans gave the No. 3-ranked team in the world a flying start with a goal from the edge of the area. De Bruyne converted direct from Belgium goalkeeper Koen Casteels' long kick in the 80th.

The result means all four teams in Group E have three points and there is all to play for in the final round of games on Wednesday, when Belgium plays Ukraine and Romania takes on Slovakia.

"I'm very relieved we won the game. It was very important to get the three points," Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco said.

While Belgium won, there was more frustration for Romelu Lukaku, who had a third goal ruled out by VAR at these Euros.

Still, he was at the center of his team's great start when laying the ball off for Tielemans to drive in low from the edge of the box.

Portugal 3-0 Türkiye

Bernardo Silva's first goal at a major tournament, a calamitous own goal from Samet Akaydin and a Bruno Fernandes tap-in gave Portugal a comfortable 3-0 win over Türkiye on Saturday to guarantee qualification for the last 16 as Group F winners.

Silva gave Portugal the lead in the 21st minute, rifling home after Nuno Mendes' cross deflected kindly into his path before Akaydin failed to look and passed the ball beyond onrushing goalkeeper Altay Bayindir seven minutes later.

Fernandes effectively ended the contest after 56 minutes when Cristiano Ronaldo – who could have become the oldest goalscorer in European Championship history – selflessly passed to his former Manchester United teammate to tap home.

The victory secures Portugal's progress while Türkiye must avoid defeat on Wednesday to the Czech Republic, who drew 1-1 with Georgia earlier on Saturday, to be certain of qualifying for the knockout rounds.

"In general, I don't think we played a bad game," Türkiye coach Vincenzo Montella told Turkish TV. "We were closer to scoring a goal in the first 20 minutes. Against these types of opponents, if you don't find a goal in the first minutes everything becomes harder."

Portugal started sharply and were unfazed by the deafening whistles from Türkiye's supporters when in possession, with Ronaldo drawing an easy save from Bayindir inside two minutes.

Türkiye – who had lost all three of their previous European Championship games against Portugal without scoring – set up more defensively after they gave up multiple chances to tournament debutants Georgia in their opening match.

They nonetheless often played out from the back and the gamble almost paid off after 20 minutes, but 41-year-old defender Pepe's last-man challenge stopped Orkun Kokcu from breaking clear.

Georgia 1-1 Czech Republic

Georgia earned their first ever point at a major tournament after drawing with the Czech Republic 1-1 at the European Championship on Saturday. It was nearly a win.

Midfielder Saba Lobjanidze fired his shot narrowly over the bar with the last kick of the game as Georgia's promising three-on-one counterattack came to nothing.

Lobjanidze – who plays for Atlanta United in the U.S. state of Georgia – seemed to be in tears after the final whistle and was comforted by coach Willy Sagnol.

"As I tried to tell him, the ones who never tried, they will never miss. And the best way to miss is to try," Sagnol said.

"Some mixed feelings after the match in the locker room. For the first minutes I think the players were a bit disappointed because of this massive opportunity but I hope they will quickly get the fact that they got their first ever point in a major tournament."

There was a big mismatch in experience, with the Czech team playing in their eighth consecutive European Championship and Georgia making their debut at the tournament.

The draw means both teams have one point and almost certainly require a win in their last group games to qualify for the knockout stages, even as one of the best third-place teams.
