Belgium 1-2 France
France have one foot in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Nations League after edging Belgium 2-1 in League A2 at King Baudouin Stadium.
Les Bleus, without captain Kylian Mbappe in the current international break, made four changes to the side that hammered Israel, in a youthful line-up, as Bradley Barcola, Matteo Guendouzi, Lucas Digne and Manu Kone.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, kept the same attack of Jeremy Doku, Lois Openda and Leandro Trossard after a 2-2 draw against Italy.
Domenico Tedesco's charges should have been ahead midway into the first stanza after they were awarded a penalty but Youri Tielemans scooped his shot over the crossbar.
Randal Kolo Muani eventually broke the deadlock for France ten minutes before the interval from the penalty spot.
Belgium levelled matters on the stroke of half-time after a downward header by Openda.
Kolo Muani gave Didier Deschamps' men the lead just after the hour-mark with a header in the box.
France were down to ten men 14 minutes before time after Aurelien Tchouameni got a second booking and was sent off.
However, Les Bleus held on to a win, as they drifted five points ahead of the Red Devils in second spot. Belgium are facing the prospect of the relegation play-offs.
Italy 4-1 Israel
Italy are on the brink of qualifying for the quarter-finals after thrashing Israel 4-1 in League A2 at Bluenergy Stadium.
The Azzurri made three alterations following their draw against Belgium, one enforced, as Giacomo Raspadori took the place of the suspended Lorenzo Pellegrini, Nicolo Fagioli got in and also goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario started, as Gianluigi Donnarumma was rested.
Luciano Spalletti's were all over Israel but only got the breakthrough on the stroke of half-time thanks to a penalty by Mateo Retegui.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo doubled the lead for Italy early in the second stanza with a close-range header.
Mohammed Abu Fani pulled a goal back for Israel on 66 minutes with strike from a corner situation.
Davide Frattesi, however, restored a two-goal lead for the Azzurri with 18 minutes to go and Di Lorenzo sealed the deal and got his brace with 11 minutes remaining.
Germany 1-0 Netherlands
Germany all but booked their spot in the quarter-finals after edging Netherlands 1-0 in League A3 at Allianz Arena.
Germany had a presentation that honoured Manuel Neuer, Ilkay Gundogan, Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos while they also had a minute applause in memory of Dutch legend Johan Neeskens.
Die Mannschaft thought they were ahead in only the second minute after Jamie Leweling found the back of the net but the goal was disallowed for a marginal offside.
Leweling, however, broke the deadlock for Julian Nagelsmann's charges just after the hour-mark, with a strike from a rebound in the box.
Ukraine 1-1 Czechia
Czechia remained at the top of League B1 after a 1-1 draw against Ukraine at Tarczynski Arena.
Lukas Cerv sent Czechia ahead inside 18 minutes but Artem Dovbyk equalised for Ukraine early in the second stanza.
The Blue and Yellow remained at the bottom of the section, with all four teams separated by three points.
