It was all sunshine and rainbows for Wales after their second goal of the evening, but Aaron Ramsey delivered a huge blow for the Dragons before the game concluded.
Arsenal's player helped Wales to an epic comeback by handing out two assists for Ashley Williams' equalizer and Robson-Kanu's goal. But as the game neared its final moments, Ramsey handballed a promising attack by Belgium, which prompted the Slovakian ref to book him once more.
Ramsey's absence will hand a major blow to Wales' chances of success, as the midfielder currently leads the UEFA Euro 2016 with four assists. He had been directly involved in five of the last eight goals scored by the Dragons, and his presence will be sorely missed against the Portuguese crew.

5 - Aaron Ramsey has been involved in five goals this Euros (1G, 4A), the highest for a British player since Rooney (5) in 2004. Galvanized.

Here's how fans reacted to Ramsey's booking and upcoming ban.
Ramsey has been outstanding all tournament, two nothing yellows and he's out of the semi-final. Somebody should resign over this.
