Kevin De Bruyne scored on his 100th cap for Belgium and sent his country on their way to a 2-0 win over Montenegro in Brussels in the first of two friendlies before they head to the European Championship.
The Belgium captain stroked home a long-range shot a minute before half-time to hand his side the lead after Matija Sarkic, the Montenegro goalkeeper, was caught in no-man’s land after a defensive mix-up. It was a cruel blow to the English-born keeper, who had kept a quick-paced Belgium attack at bay for almost the entire half with a remarkable series of saves, most notably from Yannick Carrasco, who had four clear chances but was denied each time. Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard tucked away a penalty with the last kick of the game to double the scoreline.
