Belgium took a full-fledged step toward the World Cup by connecting all effective shots to points.
Belgium, which played the fourth Group J match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying round in Europe at Stade Lua Bodouin in Brussels, Belgium, won 4-3 against Wales on the 10th (Korea time).
Belgium did not play in the World Cup qualifying round during the A-match period in March, but in the UEFA Nations League, a playoff. As a result, the team played its first World Cup qualifying round during the A-match period. It was humiliated in the first match. It tied 1-1 with North Macedonia, which is considered a lower-ranked team. Of course, North Macedonia is currently ranking first in Group J with two wins and two draws, and although the team had potential, Belgium should have earned three points in many ways.
The match against Wales this time was also rough. In the 15th minute of the first half, Romelu Lukaku finished off Kevin De Bruyne's penalty kick with a shot that completely deceived the goalkeeper, and four minutes later, Uri Tillemans finished a low cross by Maxim Derkawifer with a sophisticated right footed shot. In the 27th minute of the first half, Jeremy Doku hit from the right to the inside and shook the net once again with a left footed shot at excellent timing.
However, the team showed strong concentration in defense, as the team was trailing by three goals. In the seventh minute of extra time, Harry Wilson lost a point through a penalty kick to end the first half 3-1. In the sixth minute of the second half, Sova Thomas immediately connected a pass from the right to the other side and scored a right-footed shot to break the net for Wales. In the 24th minute of the second half, Thomas sent a long pass that Wilson opened wide to the left to the other side with his head, and Brennan Johnson was in a good position and pushed it to the header to tie the score.
It was veteran Dubrowner who appeared in a crisis. In the 43rd minute of the second half, the Welsh defense cleared a corner kick from Dubrowner, but Belgium caught the ball again and Thielemans' cross from the right side was rushed by Dubrowner from the other side and finished with his left foot. The Welsh defense was marking all the other Belgian players but could not stop the kicker from cornering the team. Dubrowner was replaced after scoring the goal, and Belgium secured a 4-3 victory. 스포츠토토
Belgium displayed concentration by scoring all four of its effective shots on the day. However, considering that the team had 18 shots overall, it can be said that Belgium staged inefficient attacks. Belgium is in a situation where the golden generation is coming to an end and Thibaut Courtois has declared his absence from the national team. Still, he is showing his prowess at every important moment amid the performances of veterans such as Derbroughner and Lukaku.
