Belgium and Sweden both claim 2-0 wins

Belgium and Sweden both claim 2-0 wins


Belgium beat Australia 2-0 in Thursday's friendly in Liege, while Sweden saw off Estonia by the same scoreline.

Goals in each half for Dries Mertens and Axel Witsel gave Belgium a comfortable win over the Socceroos at the Stade de Sclessin.

It took 18 minutes for the home side to open the scoring as Mertens converted after Kevin De Bruyne's shot came back off the woodwork before Witsel's driven shot made sure of the win in the second half.

Sweden beat Estonia 2-0 in Solna as Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice to break the country's all-time goals record.


Ibrahimovic found the net twice within 24 minutes to take his international tally to 50 goals, breaking Sven Rydell's record which has stood since 1932.

Mario Mandzukic also scored twice as Croatia beat Cyprus 2-0 and there was a brace too for Vedad Ibisevic as Bosnia overcame Liechtenstein 3-0.

Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko was also on the target for Bosnia.

Slovakia edged past Malta 1-0 thanks to Adam Nemec's goal just before half-time.

Elsewhere on Thursday, Spain's revival after their awful World Cup campaign remains a work in progress after Vicente Del Bosque's side were beaten 1-0 by France in Paris. Loic Remy scored the only goal of the game after 73 minutes.

Italy were another team searching for signs of rejuvenation following a disappointing World Cup and new boss Antonio Conte enjoyed the perfect start after a 2-0 victory over 10-man Holland in Bari.
