Nations League: Belgium leaves Wales on the brink of relegation
Belgium continues to struggle for leadership in Group A4 of the League of Nations. The victory over Wales allowed the Red Devils to stay at a distance of one victory from the leading Netherlands - and now everything will be decided in their face-to-face meeting.
Wales needed points to have at least some chance of surviving in Division A. But they failed at the beginning of the match, conceding two goals. In the second half, guests managed to close the gap in the score, but it wasn't enough to save the game.
