Shocking scene in 2026 World Cup qualifiers

An incident occurred during the match between Wales and Belgium in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe in the early morning of October 14, when a mouse suddenly rushed onto the field, forcing the referee to temporarily stop the match.

The most unforgettable highlight of the match was not the goals, but came in the 66th minute, when a mouse suddenly ran onto the field. German referee Daniel Siebert immediately stopped the match, waiting for the mouse to leave the field.

Tottenham and Wales striker Brennan Johnson was the quickest to react, looking surprised and chasing the mouse away to the delight of the audience.

On social media, fans quickly turned the situation into a topic of discussion. One fan joked: "The mouse was the highlight of the match." Another humorously wrote: "This is truly Wales' new signing."

Despite the laughter, the incident cannot obscure the fact that Wales have made it difficult for themselves in the race to qualify for the World Cup. The team suffered a 4-2 loss to Belgium, thereby remaining in third place in Group J, 4 points behind leaders Belgium.

With this defeat, coach Craig Bellamy and his team will have to rely on the play-off series in March 2026 to compete for a ticket to the World Cup finals next year.

Meanwhile, with the victory over Wales, the Belgian team continued to assert its strength when it only lost 1 qualifying match in the past 14 years.
