Wes Burns and Elkan Baggott added to their international caps with Wales and Indonesia this evening.

Wing-back Burns came on as a 73rd-minute substitute to claim his second full cap and more than played his part as the Welsh came from behind to grab a notable 1-1 draw with Belgium at the Cardiff City Stadium in the UEFA Nations League.

Town striker David Johnson’s son Brennan scored the leveller with four minutes remaining, the 21-year-old Nottingham Forest frontman's first international goal.

Burns, 27, has a chance of winning his third cap when Wales face the Netherlands in their final Nations League tie of the summer in Rotterdam on Tuesday.

Centre-half Baggott was in the Indonesia XI which lost 1-0 to Jordan in their second third round Asian Cup qualifier in Kuwait. The 19-year-old was winning his ninth full cap.

Indonesia are now second in the group ahead of their final game against Nepal on Tuesday.

Gforce added 12:14 - Jun 12 Great to see Wes doing so well for Wales. The only downside is the probability that we could lose him for 3/4 weeks during the world cup in November.

Fat_Boy_Tim added 19:28 - Jun 12 I watched the match on S4C and Burns had a good 20 mins. He had about 5 or 6 runs forward with the ball, a couple of touches inside that were applauded but put in one over hit cross. He played in his usual right sided role and dropped back when needed. I think he's definitely got a chance of being in the squad in the winter. Also, got to say also that Wales played a blinder against a good Belgium side so he'd be unlikely to knock anyone out of the starting line up. My favourite moment listening to the Welsh language commentary was when Ampadu scored a goal (Chalked off by VAR sadly) and through the Welsh you heard 'Yabba Dabba Ampaduuuuu!'
