Wales grabbed a stunning lead over Belgium during Euro 2016 qualifying Friday thanks to Radja Nainggolan's dreadful mistake in his own end.
Following a set play, the Belgian's struggles to clear the ball saw his attempt at a back pass fall to the one player every team would avoid in such situations: Gareth Bale.
Bale calmly controlled the ball with his chest as he stood a solid eight feet behind the nearest Belgian defender. All that was left was for the Welsh player to turn and slot the ball past Thibaut Courtois to send the home supporters into a frenzy.
