Belgium 1-2 England
U16 International Friendly
KFC Heist, Belgium
Wednesday 22 February 2006

England brushed up on their skills with an excellent victory over a determined Belgium side thanks to goals from Ashley Chambers and Tom Harvey.

The result will no doubt be seen as the perfect preparation before England take their place in the Montaigu Tournament in France in April, where they will be up against China, Tunisia and the hosts France.

Belgium took the lead in the first half before Ashley Chambers levelled the scores with a well taken penalty.

The spot kick being awarded after Danny Rose was fouled in the area. The pacy Leeds United youngster was taken down after a promising run that saw him pass a number of Belgian defenders and head goalwards.

After that equaliser England took a grip on the game and their dominance was rewarded on the hour mark with a second goal.

It was Tom Harvey who got the goal, and it turned out to be decisive despite continued attacking play from both sides right up to the final whistle.
