Ireland pegged back by Belgium in thriller

Malike Benrouggibbi, one of eight changes from Tuesday’s 1-1 draw between the nations, fired Ireland into a 26th minute lead before skipper Dan Casey added a second from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time.

Belgium deservedly clawed their way back through substitute Jeff Callebaut and a Youri Tielemans penalty 14 minutes from time. Sean Byrne restored Ireland’s lead from a free-kick but Jeff Callebaut made it 3-3 in stoppage time.
