Ben Fisher was in Brussels, and his report is here for your edification. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night!

Kevin De Bruyne talks to S4C, and isn’t particularly impressed with the suggestion that Wales made Belgium defend a lot during the second half. “I think we fully deserved to win. The first half we fully dominated, created a lot of chances. The second half we started badly. The only thing from our side is that we had to keep the ball, Wales were so deep, we had to wait for the right moment. That was the only thing that could have got better, but I never had the feeling that Wales were going to press us. I saw two chances for Wales, I don’t know what everyone else saw, but it is what it is.” As for the overturned penalty decision? “I was already running to the corner, but even then the rules are so stupid, because it was just a normal corner [and not a drop ball].”
