Watch: Hal Robson-Kanu pulls off Cruyff turn, gives Wales a 2-1 lead

Things looked bleak for Wales after Belgium had dominated the early part of today’s quarterfinal, and it got worse after Radja Nainggolan scored a brilliant goal. But since then it’s been all Wales as they’ve turned the tides on the Red Devils.

A 1-1 deadlock was broken early in the second half when Hal Robson-Kanu turned the Belgium back four inside-out with a Cruyff turn and simple finish into the back of the net. Robson-Kanu, who was released by Reading at the end of the club season, has now scored 2 goals on 2 shots in this tournament. Can’t imagine he’ll stay unemployed for long.
