Belgium held to goalless draw by Republic of Ireland

Red Devils fail to break down stubborn Irish defence

De Bruyne makes 100th appearance for Belgium

Belgium were held to a goalless draw by the Republic of Ireland in a friendly international on Tuesday night. The Red Devils, who are ranked number one in the world, were unable to break down a stubborn Irish defence.

Kevin De Bruyne, who was making his 100th appearance for Belgium, was unable to inspire his team to victory. The Manchester City midfielder had a number of chances to score, but he was unable to find the net.

The result will be a disappointment for Belgium, who are preparing for the World Cup in Qatar later this year. The Red Devils will be hoping to improve their form in their next match, which is against Slovakia on Saturday.

The Republic of Ireland will be pleased with their performance against one of the best teams in the world. The Irish defence was resolute throughout the match, and they also created a number of chances to score.

The result will give the Republic of Ireland confidence ahead of their Nations League match against Scotland on Saturday.
