Wales head coach Craig Bellamy (R) urges his players on against Belgium

Matches against Belgium have provided defining moments for Wales and their golden era of the past decade.

Most notably, there was the Euro 2016 quarter-final triumph – the greatest night in Welsh football history – and the qualifying win in Cardiff a year earlier.

Monday's reunion had the ingredients of another classic but, unfortunately for Wales, their 2015 meeting remains the last time Belgium were defeated in a World Cup or European Championship qualifier.

That remarkable 46-game unbeaten run was under threat as Wales exploded out of the blocks, though Belgium soon had things back under control and looked a class apart as they sat back and chose their moments to pick off their desperate opponents.
