A SECOND SUCCESSIVE friendly defeat, but more positives to build on for the Republic of Ireland as they continue their preparations for the World Cup qualifiers.
A 14th-minute volley from Tine De Caigny was the solitary goal of the night as Belgium who are ranked 17th in the world overcame Vera Pauw’s outfit in the King Baudouin Stadium. It was Ireland’s second 1-0 defeat of the week after losing out to Denmark on Thursday.
