Belgium Beat Wales 4-3 in Brussels Thriller

Belgium defeated Wales 4-3 in a dramatic World Cup qualifier in Brussels, with Kevin De Bruyne scoring the winning goal two minutes from time. Belgium surged to a 3-0 lead inside 27 minutes through Romelu Lukaku, Youri Tielemans, and Jeremy Doku, but Wales fought back with a Harry Wilson penalty and goals from Sorba Thomas and Brennan Johnson to equalize. The match included several lengthy VAR checks, controversy over a harsh penalty awarded against Wales, and a late disallowed goal for Lukaku. The result ended Craig Bellamy's unbeaten start as Wales manager and knocked Wales off the top of Group J. Belgium remain unbeaten in 21 World Cup qualifiers and now have two games in hand. Both sides remain in contention for qualification as the campaign continues.
