Belgium achieved the near-impossible, coming back from 2-0 down with five minutes to go to overcome Senegal at the Seattle Stadium and secure a place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16. With the game looking destined to be decided by penalty kicks, there was still time for more drama as Tielemans was brought down in the box and stepped up to fire home the penalty following a VAR review. Senegal had one final opportunity from a free-kick, but it came to nothing. At the final whistle, the Red Devils celebrated a memorable comeback. Belgium will remain in Seattle to play their Round of 16 match on 6 July against either hosts USA or Bosnia and Herzegovina
