an "incredible performance" in their goalless draw in Belgium on
Sunday.
The Euro 2016 qualifying Group B leaders arrived in Brussels a
point clear of Israel and fought hard to maintain a three-point
advantage over favourites to top the pool Belgium.
And Coleman revealed his pride at the display shortly after the
final whistle.
"It was exciting," he told Sky Sports. "My heart was in my mouth
once or twice but I thought it was an incredible performance
from our lads.
"They say they are the best Belgium team in history so to come
here and take a point speaks volumes for our players.
"The lads showed so much character and courage at times."
Gareth Bale was responsible for three of Wales' best chances,
but perhaps his biggest contribution was blocking a Christian
Benteke header on the line in the dying seconds.
And the Real Madrid star echoed his manager's comments.
"It's a fantastic result, coming to the team that is fourth in the
world and getting any result is a fantastic performance from us,"
he beamed.
"I think everybody did everything and worked for each other.
We put expectation on ourselves more than anyone because we
know we are capable of."
