There was also disappointment for Ben Davies and Wales, who were knocked out on penalties by Bosnia & Herzegovina after the game ended 1-1 after extra time.
Despite being injured, Davies, who received his 100th cap for Wales in the October international break, was present on the Welsh bench supporting his teammates in their 4-2 defeat on penalties.
Finally, Tyrese Hall was an unused substitute as Jamaica reached one of the two inter-confederation play-off finals with a 1-0 victory over New Caledonia. A win in the Pathway 1 final against DR Congo on Tuesday will see Jamaica slotted into Group K at this summer’s tournament.
Elsewhere, Randal Kolo Muani was named among the substitutes for France’s friendly against Brazil at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, but did not feature as Les Bleus managed to defeat Carlo Ancelotti’s side 2-1 despite playing the majority of the second half with 10 men.
