Belgium Pull Off Stunning World Cup Miracle, Beat Senegal 3-2 After Epic Late Comeback
Belgium produced one of the greatest comebacks of the FIFA World Cup 2026, overturning a 2-0 deficit to defeat Senegal 3-2 after extra time in a dramatic Round of 32 clash in Seattle.
Senegal appeared destined for the Round of 16 after goals from Habib Diarra and Ismaïla Sarr, but Romelu Lukaku ignited Belgium’s fightback in the 86th minute before Youri Tielemans equalised just three minutes later. Deep into extra time, a VAR-awarded penalty gave Tielemans the chance to complete the turnaround, and the captain calmly converted in the 125th minute to seal a historic victory.
The thrilling encounter also saw play briefly suspended after three pitch invaders entered the field before Belgium booked a last-16 showdown with either the United States or Bosnia and Herzegovina.
