Youri Tielemans Penalty Seals Belgium’s Dramatic 3-2 Win Over Senegal

Youri Tielemans Penalty Seals Belgium’s Dramatic 3-2 Win Over Senegal

Belgium rallied from two goals down to beat Senegal 3-2 after extra time in their World Cup last-32 clash in Seattle. Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr had put Senegal in control before Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans struck late to force extra time. A VAR review led to a 125th-minute penalty, and Tielemans calmly found the top corner to complete one of the tournament’s most remarkable comebacks. Belgium now move on to face the winner of the United States vs Bosnia and Herzegovina match.

It felt like Senegal controlled most of the match until Lukaku's late equaliser shifted momentum entirely.

I'm not sure the penalty VAR check alone decided this match; Senegal also had opportunities to seal it earlier.

Belgium might focus on improving defensive consistency early on, learning to manage leads rather than relying on late comebacks.
