Play is stopped to allow Davies to receive treatment for a head injury.

Belgium apply heavy pressure as we approach half-time. Wales deal with not one but two De Bruyne whipped corner deliveries, which is no mean feat.

Off the post! That's a wonderful effort from Hazard! Unmarked on the edge of the area, De Bruyne's free-kick picks him out and with wonderful technique he curls a first-time volley at goal. With Ward rooted to the spot, it looks destined for the top corner but agonisingly for Belgium it comes back off the woodwork!
40'
Free-kick! Davies fouls De Ketelaere right on the edge of the penalty area, on the right side. Too tight of an angle for a shot.

Close! Belgium have a decent chance to retake the lead! De Bruyne's delivers a dangerous corner, Boyata outjumps Allen but from point-blank range can only head wide! Should do better!

The adrenaline in the Wales rank is clearly still pumping as Morrell commits a needless foul, earning the yellow card that rules him out of the play-off semi-final in March.

GOAL! Wales 1-1 Belgium (Kieffer Moore): Wales are level thanks to Moore! James' first and second crosses are blocked but he gets another bite of the cherry and this time picks out Moore, who takes a touch before rifling a low shot past Casteels!

Respite for Wales as De Ketelaere is flagged for offside.
30'
Allen stands his ground to block Hazard's attempted cross as Belgium continue to apply pressure. Wales are currently pinned back in their own half.

Turkey have now equalised against Montenegro.

Moore pounces on Boyata's slip and creates space for a cross with a clever piece of footwork. He delivers to the back post but the visitors clear at the expense of a corner. The resulting set-piece comes to little.
25'
Shot! Davies gives possession away in dangerous territory, and there are few more frightening sights in football than Kevin De Bruyne charging towards your goal, which is the precarious situation Wales find themselves in... However, he takes to take an early shot and gets too much power on it, blazing well over the bar.

Boyata climbs all over Moore and though it's a clear free-kick, the referee keeps his cards in his pocket on this occasion.

As you can see from the statistics, Belgium are having things almost all their own way now. The home fans are growing increasingly frustrated, you feel.

Possession: Wales 28% Belgium 72%.

No penalty! The Wales supporters had gone silent but are pleading for a penalty now as James' cross appears to hit the arm of Meunier. The referee doesn't believe that's a foul.
14'
That's what happens when you allow De Bruyne even an inch. As it stands, because Czech Republic are still drawing with Estonia, Wales stay in second.
