Belgium stages stunning World Cup comeback to beat Senegal 3-2 with 125th-minute penalty

Belgium staged a miraculous comeback to defeat Senegal 3-2 in a dramatic World Cup match, escaping elimination with late goals and a penalty in the 125th minute.

Senegal dominated much of the game, taking a deserved 1-0 lead in the 24th minute through Habib Diarra. After a brief interruption due to pitch invaders, Ismaila Sarr doubled Senegal's lead in the 51st minute with a brilliant through ball, leaving Belgium seemingly out of contention.

However, substitute striker Romelu Lukaku ignited Belgium's comeback in the 86th minute, pulling one back. Just minutes later, Youri Tielemans scored an unexpected equalizer, sending the match into extra time. Both teams had chances, but a penalty awarded to Belgium after a VAR review in the dying moments of extra time proved decisive. Tielemans converted the penalty, securing a stunning victory and advancing Belgium to the next round.
