Rodent stopped the match Wales - Belgium: how it affected the game.

A pause occurred in Wales due to a rodent during the World Cup qualifying match

According to The Sun: In the World Cup qualifying match, Wales suffered a defeat to Belgium with a score of 4:2, despite a good start when Joe Rodon opened the scoring.

However, in the 66th minute, the game was stopped due to a rat that appeared on the field. Referee Daniel Siebert from Germany halted the match until the rodent left the area.

Wales striker Brennan Johnson, who was closest to the rat, looked surprised but then started to chase it off the field.

Fans actively commented on this unusual situation on social media. One of them wrote:

“Rodent’s goal!”

“He’s man of the match.”

“Sneaking on another player.”

Although the rat became a star for a few minutes, Kevin De Bruyne showed his class by scoring several penalties and helping Belgium get closer to the World Cup.

The defeat was a harsh blow for Wales, as now the team under Craig Bellamy's leadership needs to go through the playoffs in March if they want to qualify for the World Cup in the USA.

Starting moments of the match

Wales started the game actively - already in the eighth minute, Rodon scored after a corner kick from Sorba Thomas. But the joy in the team didn't last long: the referee awarded a penalty to Belgium after VAR review, and De Bruyne converted it.

After that, Wales lost control of the game, and soon Belgium took the lead. The incident with the rat, although an interesting moment, did not change the course of the game, and De Bruyne continued to demonstrate his class after the match was resumed.

Although Wales tried to fight back by scoring another goal, the Belgians struck again, finishing the match with a victory of 4:2.

Now Wales will have to recall the pleasant moments from previous matches, as the defeat seriously undermines their chances of qualifying for the World Cup.
