Senegal's protests were dramatic with the penalty called in the 97th minute, and after four minutes of protest, the Senegal coach instructed his team to leave the field. A surreal moment.

And just when you thought the madness had come to an end...

After a 13 minute delay, Senegal came back onto the pitch before Brahim Díaz saw his panenka attempt from the spot miss! 

An absolutely unbelievable ending as the two sides are now in extra-time to decide this epic final.
