Should have chosen Torres as he was in Form.Although their main problem is that they arent direct.Always want to score the perfect goal and possession football .That type of football doesnt work now a days.

Match facts

 

Head-to-head

  • Belgium have won five of the 12 previous meetings, with four victories for Wales and three draws.
  • The Belgians failed to score against the Welsh in Euro 2016 qualifying, drawing 0-0 in Brussels and losing 1-0 in Cardiff to a goal from Gareth Bale.
  • This is the first time these teams have met in the finals of a major tournament.

Wales

  • The Welsh have not reached the semi-finals of a major tournament before. This is their best finals performance since reaching the quarter-finals at the 1958 World Cup, when they lost 1-0 to Brazil.
  • Wales have trailed for only two minutes and 31 seconds (including injury time) in their four games at Euro 2016.
  • The three goals Wales have conceded at Euro 2016 have all come from the 56th minute onwards - and have all been scored by substitutes.
  • Wales had just one shot on target in their last game against Northern Ireland - a free-kick by Gareth Bale.
  • Aaron Ramsey has scored or assisted three of the last five goals netted by Welsh players (excluding the own goal scored by Northern Ireland's Gareth McAuley).
  • Wales have kept two consecutive clean sheets for the first time at a major tournament.

Belgium

  • Seven of Belgium's eight goals at Euro 2016 have been scored after half-time, including six in the last half hour.
  • Kevin de Bruyne has been directly involved in 12 goals in his last 12 games with Belgium (five goals, seven assists).
  • They have not conceded in their last three games - their longest run of clean sheets at a major tournament.
  • Eden Hazard has assisted three goals at Euro 2016 - matching his tally in the Premier League for Chelsea in 2015-16.
  • Hazard completed 12 dribbles against Hungary, the most in a European Championship game since 1980.
