Harry Wilson grabbed a goal and an assist as Wales were defeated 4-3 by Belgium on Monday evening.
Wilson has made eight appearances for his country since Craig Bellamy took over last summer – and has registered six goals and two assists.
Wales were 3-0 down after just 27 minutes in Brussels, but Wilson reduced the deficit from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time before setting up Sorba Thomas six minutes after the interval.

It’s been a successful round of international fixtures for Sander Berge and Norway, who followed up Friday’s thrashing of Italy with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Estonia.

On Saturday, there were wins in friendlies for both Joachim Andersen and Luc De Fougerolles.
Andersen started in Denmark's 2-1 win against Northern Ireland, but his side had to come from behind after Pierre-Emile Højberg inadvertently hit the ball past Filip Jörgensen after six minutes. Goals from Gustav Isaksen and Christian Eriksen completed the turnaround.
De Fougerolles was handed just his third Canada cap as Jesse Marsch’s side defeated Ukraine 4-2 on Saturday. The 19-year-old played in the heart of the defence and even claimed an assist as his header bounced into the path of Tajon Buchanan who finished acrobatically past Dmytro Riznyk.

That goal made it 4-0, and it looked as though De Fougerolles was heading for a dream home debut, but late goals from Illiya Zabarnyi and Oleksandr Zinchenko took some gloss off the scoreline as it finished 4-2.
“It was definitely a good result, but the two goals at the end killed us a bit,” De Fougerolles said post-match. “Four nil would have been a much better result, but we take it and it’s a first win over a European team in quite a while, so another milestone achieved and a good result overall."
Martial Godo’s first appearance for Ivory Coast Under-23s ended in defeat on Friday as a strong Netherlands side ran out 3-0 winners, with Godo playing 83 minutes of the contest.
