Half-Time Report: Belgium being held by Wales

By , Rugby Editor
Wales keep Belgium at bay in the first half of their crucial Euro 2016 qualifier in Brussels.

Wales have kept Belgium at bay in the first half of their crucial Euro 2016 qualifier in Brussels.

A closely-contested opening came to life on 14 minutes when Gareth Bale's fizzing free kick was kept out by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Belgium soon began to build possession and they had a glorious chance to take the lead midway through the half as Nacer Chadli was put through on goal, but the midfielder's effort was kept out by Wayne Hennessey.

The hosts came close again soon after, but Nicolas Lombaerts's drive came back off the woodwork before Kevin De Bruyne threatened with a free kick towards the end of the half.
