On this evening friendly matches were also played. Preparing for the World Cup qualifiers against Estonia, the Belgian national team defeated the Czech footballers at home. Roberto Martinez's team played without the injured leader Eden Hazard, but in the middle of the first half, his teammate in the ranks of London's "Chelsea" Michy Batshuayi took matters into his own hands by scoring a goal. True, the result was soon equalized after a precise strike by Michael Krmenčiko, but the victory for the Belgians was finally secured by Marouane Fellaini's goal. In the next match, the hosts of the planet's championship, Russia, forced Hungary's national team to submit as visitors. Fedor Smolov scored the first goal here, then Marton Eppel scored an own goal, and Russia solidified their victory at the very end with Dmitry Poloz's goal. An unexpected result was recorded between the Macedonian and Turkish national teams, where the Turks not only did not beat their opponents but also fell behind them in statistics. The duel finally ended goalless.
