By Robert-Jan Bartunek LILLE, France (Reuters) - Rampant Wales defeated Belgium 3-1 to reach the Euro 2016 semi-finals with a victory that included a sensational strike by Hal Robson-Kanu and a goal for captain Ashley Williams on Friday. Belgium had taken the lead with a powerful strike by Radja Nainggolan in the 13th minute which Wales keeper Wayne Hennessey got his fingertips on but could not keep out. After that the pace the Belgians set in the opening stages subsided and Wales equalized in the 31st minute when Williams headed home a corner delivered by the excellent Aaron Ramsey.
