🧠 Match Summary
vs
Belgium survived an extraordinary late comeback to edge past Senegal 3-2 in a breathless Round of 32 clash in Seattle, booking their place in the next stage of FIFA World Cup 2026. Senegal looked set to spring a major upset after Habib Diarra struck on 25 minutes and Ismaïla Sarr doubled the lead six minutes into the second half, leaving the Red Devils staring at elimination. An eerily even contest — 19 shots and five shots on target apiece, with possession split 52-48 — somehow produced a dramatic Belgian turnaround, as Romelu Lukaku pulled one back on 86 minutes and Youri Tielemans levelled in the 89th before converting the decisive penalty deep into extra time to send Belgium through in stunning fashion.
