Wales Under-21s fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Belgium in the penultimate game of their European Under-21 Championship qualifier.
Norman Bassette scored the only goal of the game inside the opening seven minutes for the Group I leaders in Westerlo.
Bassette, the top scorer in the group, met Romeo Vermant's low cross at the near post to net what proved to be the winner.
Wales' Dan Cox was sent-off five minutes before half-time after picking up two yellow cards in the space of four minutes for fouls.
Matty Jones' side, who had been beaten 7-0 by Belgium in Newport last October, were already out of contention to qualify for the finals in Albania and Serbia next summer.
They complete their qualifying campaign at home at The Oval in Caernarfon against Austria on Tuesday, 6 October.
