In a thrilling encounter, Craig Bellamy's unbeaten Wales team suffered their first defeat under the new coach as they lost 4-3 to Belgium in Brussels. With Belgium rediscovering their verve, they raced to a 3-0 lead in the first half, but Wales fought back valiantly, scoring three goals to level the game. Harry Wilson, Sorba Thomas, and Brennan Johnson were instrumental in the comeback, with the latter's header putting Wales on parity. However, Kevin de Bruyne had the final say, scoring the winning goal for Belgium. Despite the loss, Bellamy expressed pride in his team's performance, stating, "I'd rather try something great and fail than do nothing and succeed." The defeat knocked Wales off the top of their World Cup qualifying group, with North Macedonia now leading with eight points from four games. Wales and Belgium will renew their rivalry in October, with the Welsh team unbeaten in their past four home meetings.
