Updated " Wales beaten in Belgium "

FT: Belgium 4-3 Wales

Wales fall short but can't be faulted for their attitude, having come back from 3-0 down.

Disappointed to lose but got to be positive about the second half display.

Kazakhstan 0 v 1 North Macedonia

Come on Wales

Penalty to Belgium

De Bruyne's shot hit Johnson's arm

Lukaku scores the penalty

VAR had a long look but stuck with the decision

2-0

Tielemans

Not turned up. Embarrassing so far.

At this rate we could be looking at a cricket score.

3-0

Doku

Belgium have been excellent but you have to ask questions about Bellamys set up and motivation tonight.

first really decent team Wales have faced under Bellamy if we are honest with ourselves

This match just goes to show how far we are still behind the good teams, lets be honest under Bellamy we haven't really played any good teams which had given us a false impression of ourselves, we still got a long way to go before we can compete with the elite teams, its certainly an eye opener tonight.

first really decent team Wales have faced under Bellamy if we are honest with ourselves

Very true, we got a long way to go before we are up there with the best.

Reminds me of our game at Leeds, trying to go all out attack and just getting ripped apart in transition when we lose the ball

Should of set up more cautious and used our pace on the counter

Doku is ripping us apart

Biased I know but is this ref only able to see any decision going Belgiums way?

The penalty was soft, his arm was by his side behind him and he moves it away from what I saw of it but it was too quick to move.

Doku kicked the ball away when he felt he should have had a free kick, no card. De Bruyne throwing his arms at the ref for not getting a decision, no card.

Brooks should have scored with the chance earlier, looks like we won’t get many chances and need to be taking the chances that come our way. Slow start but seem to have settled a little now

Penalty to Wales

sorba Thomas our best player

Wilson scores the penalty

3-1

HT: Belgium 3-1 Wales

Agree with what others have said. Belgium have been good but Wales have been equally poor.

Both teams got given a soft penalty.

3-2

Sorba Thomas

3-2

Sorba Thomas

VAR checked it for offside but the goal stands

Glad Wales’ players have got more fight than some on here.

Liam Cullen and Mark Harris on

Jordan James and David Brooks off

Big chance for Harris to equalise but he heads it wide

Big chance for Harris to equalise but he heads it wide

Should have scored that I think. Although might be harsh.

3-3

Brennan Johnson equalises

Didn't see this coming
