**Cardiff, Wales** – Belgium secured a crucial victory against Wales in a Group J match, winning 4-2. The match, played in Cardiff, was marred by penalty decisions and periods of Belgian dominance.
Kevin De Bruyne converted two penalties for Belgium, with Leandro Trossard adding a late goal to seal the win. Wales responded with a goal from Broadhead, but could not withstand the Belgian attack.
The match was particularly significant for Welsh defender Ben Davies, who earned his 100th international cap. However, the occasion was overshadowed by the defeat, and Davies had to be subbed off due to injury. Wales players expressed their frustration.
A key talking point was the penalty awarded against Ampadu in the first half and the second penalty given for handball.
The result puts Belgium in a strong position to secure automatic qualification. Wales, meanwhile, are facing a must-win situation in their remaining matches, including a critical game against North Macedonia.
