Sam Vokes sends Wales to Euro 2016 semifinals with a stunning header

Here’s how Wales clinched their spot in the last four of the Euros.

Belgium scored the first goal of their Euro 2016 quarterfinal clash against Wales, but their defense fell apart after that, conceding twice before 55 minutes were gone. And while the Red Devils were pushing everyone forward in search of an equalizer, they got caught out by substitute Sam Vokes.

While this wasn't the winner, Wales were under a ton of pressure before this goal, looking like there was a decent chance they could concede. But this goal, to make it 3-1, ensured that they'd have a place in the Euro 2016 semifinals. There, Gareth Bale and company will face Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.
