Belgium, who face Italy at Euro 2016, came back from a goal down to beat Switzerland 2-1 in a friendly.
The Red Devils confirmed their status as number one in the FIFA World Ranking with today’s victory in Geneva.
Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan was rested due to a muscular problem, while Belgium curiously experimented Zenit star Axel Witsel at right-back – something that didn’t particularly work.
Italy will be glad to see that Marc Wilmots has issues defending down the flanks, as Blerim Dzemaili of Genoa opened the scoring down Jan Vertonghen’s side.
Napoli starlet Dries Mertens provided the assist for Romelu Lukaku’s equaliser and Xherdan Shaqiri wasted a couple of great chances.
Haris Seferovic saw red for dissent in the final stages and three minutes later Kevin De Bruyne grabbed the winning goal, with the aid of a deflection.
Mertens was named man of the match.
