🚨 Belgium complete epic comeback, knock out Senegal and reach last 16 | OneFootball

The 2026 World Cup has just delivered its wildest script yet. Trailing and virtually eliminated by a transformed Senegal side that was 2-0 up until the 85th minute, Belgium pulled off a genuine miracle to snatch qualification for the round of 16 (3-2 after extra time).

Everything turned around in the space of four crazy minutes at the end of the match, when Romelu Lukaku (86th) and then Youri Tielemans (89th) sent the Seattle Stadium into raptures and forced an unexpected extra time.

As the penalty shootout seemed to be looming for both teams, fate took a turn in the 118th minute. Alerted by VAR to a foul by Lamine Camara on Tielemans, the referee pointed to the penalty spot.

With ice-cold composure, Youri Tielemans grabbed a memorable brace in the 120th+5 minute to send the Red Devils through to the next round and break the hearts of the valiant Senegalese.
