Euro 2016 surprise packages Wales have caught mighty Belgium off guard, with a stunning 3-1 victory on Sunday, as Gareth Bale and his men, wrote history by qualifying to the last 4 of the tournament for the 1st time in the country's history.

The Belgians opened the scoring in the 13th minute thanks to a brilliant strike by Radja Nainggolan. The Welshmen tied the scoreline in the 31st minute through Ashley Williams who brought some hope back for Chris Coleman's lads.

That was how it ended the first half, but only 10 minutes into the 2nd period, Hal Robson-Kanu wrote his name into Welsh football history with a stunning individual effort before Sam Vokes made it 3-1 with a brilliant header, as Wales advanced to the semi-finals of the Euro 2016.
