This late Belgium goal means Wales will have to wait for Euro 2016 qualification (video)

So, so close...

Eden Hazard’s late goal in Cyprus means Wales will have to wait a while longer to guarantee themselves a place at Euro 2016.

After being frustrated in Cardiff by Israel earlier, it appeared the Welsh would be celebrating achieving their first spot at a major international tournament since 1958 after all, as Cyrprus held Belgium at bay for 85 minutes.

But after a speedy break by the Belgians, Chelsea’s Hazard neatly tucked the ball away beyond the reach of the Cypriot goalkeeper, leaving Chris Coleman’s men with a little more work to do.

So close…
