Wout Faes

Faes' Belgium Fight Back For A Point In Italy

Wout Faes was involved in a stirring comeback as Belgium recovered from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Italy at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday evening.

- Wout Faes featured for Belgium in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Italy
- Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu were also involved in a stalemate for Ghana
- Facundo Buonanotte will be hoping to appear for Argentina later on Thursday

Making his 22nd appearance for the Red Devils in Rome, Faes was in the starting XI for his country, with Leicester City team-mate Caleb Okoli among the unused substitutes for Azzurri.

Belgium found themselves 2-0 behind after just 24 minutes, through goals from Andrea Cambiaso and Mateo Retegui. Following Lorenzo Pellegrini's red card, matters flipped in their favour, though, setting the scene for a comeback.

Maxim De Cuyper got one back for the visitors in UEFA Nations League action, before Leandro Trossard hit a 61st-minute equaliser. Although holding a man advantage, Belgium couldn't find a winner, leaving them third in League A Group 2.

Elsewhere, there was also international action for Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu earlier on. Both starring for Ghana in a 0-0 AFCON qualifying draw with Sudan, Ayew was in the line-up from the off, with Fatawu emerging from the bench.

That point leaves the Black Stars second in Group I, putting them in a good place to reach the finals. 

Later in the day, meanwhile, Facundo Buonanotte could earn his third cap for Argentina at Venezuela (10pm BST kick-off). The World Cup and Copa América champions are top of the South American qualification pool for the 2026 World Cup.
