Wales 1-1 Belgium: Kieffer Moore equaliser secure World Cup play-off seeding

  /  R47

Wales held Belgium to an exhilarating 1-1 draw to guarantee second place in World Cup Qualifying Group E and a seeding in the draw for the Qatar 2022 play-offs.

2021 World Cup qualification Europe

1-1


Kieffer Moore's eighth international goal and a stout defensive display against the world's No 1 team got a spirited Wales over the line after Kevin de Bruyne's opener on a night of high drama and emotion at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Despite having already assured themselves of a place in the play-offs next March courtesy of their Nations League results, finishing second in the group means that Rob Page's side avoid the likes of Portugal and Italy in the more favourable side of the semi-final draw.

What's next?

Wales eagerly await the World Cup play-off draw on November 26, 2021, where they will learn their fate and who stands between them and a place at Qatar 2022.
