Overview

• Belgium won 4-2 in Cardiff as Kevin De Bruyne scored two penalties, with Thomas Meunier and Leandro Trossard adding goals after Joe Rodon and Nathan Broadhead netted for Wales.
• One of De Bruyne’s spot-kicks followed a VAR-reviewed handball on Ethan Ampadu, a decision criticised on BBC Radio Wales by former defender Danny Gabbidon.
• The result leaves Belgium on the brink of winning Group J, while Wales drop to third after North Macedonia drew 1-1 with Kazakhstan.
• France were pegged back to 2-2 in Iceland despite goals from Christopher Nkunku and Jean-Philippe Mateta, postponing qualification and setting up a November home test against Ukraine.
• Germany beat Northern Ireland 1-0 in Belfast through Nick Woltemade’s header to stay top of Group A on goal difference ahead of Slovakia, whom they host next month.
