The Red Devils kept their World Cup qualification dream on track last night with a 4-3 victory over Craig Bellamy’s Wales, but the game wasn’t without any drama.
Leicester City’s Wout Faes lined up in defence as the hosts took an early lead at Stade Roi Baudouin through Romelu Lukaku; former Fox Youri Tielemans and Jeremy Doku ensured a commanding lead before half-an-hour had been played.
However, after the break, the Red Dragons fought back, incredibly bringing the game back level again through goals from Harry Wilson, Sorba Thomas and Brennan Johnson.
Belgium’s fears of letting slip a crucial three points were rescued by De Bruyne who volleyed home from close range in the dying stages.
A first defeat for Wales in Group J, they remain second with the Red Devils hot on their heels, three points behind in third but with two games in hand.
Elsewhere, Morocco faced Benin in a friendly at Complexe Sportif de Fès, where Bilal El Khannouss was named on the bench.
Coming on at 71 minutes, he looked dangerous, but the scoreline was already confirmed, after Ayoub El Kaabi’s overhead kick on the stroke of half-time.
