Late VAR Penalty Seals Belgium’s 3-2 Extra-Time Win Over Senegal

Belgium looked down and out after Senegal raced into a two-goal lead through Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr. Coach Rudi Garcia brought on Romelu Lukaku to spark a fightback. Lukaku volleyed home in the 86th minute and Youri Tielemans headed in the equaliser three minutes later to force extra time. Both sides had chances, with Senegal pressing and Belgium hitting the crossbar. Deep into added time, a VAR review awarded a penalty which Tielemans calmly converted in the 120th minute. The Red Devils advance to the World Cup last 16, while Senegal earn praise for a spirited display.
