Marc Wilmots: 'Belgium should have beaten Wales'

Wilmots: 'Belgium should have won'

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has claimed that his side should have beaten Wales following their 0-0 draw in Euro 2016 qualifying.

The Belgians dominated for much of the match in Brussels on Sunday, but they were unable to breach the dogged Welsh defence.

While insisting that he is not too downhearted with the result, Wilmots believes that the hosts deserved to come away from the Group B clash with three points instead of one.

"Belgium deserved to win – we had five or six chances but lacked the final touch. We will keep on working to get into the top two positions in the group," he told UEFA.com.

"Wales have good individuals and a good group which defends well. If they want to get to Belgium's level, they have to create chances, not just on the counter-attack. That is the next step for Wales."

Belgium are now down to fourth place in the standings, four points adrift of leaders Israel.
