About Belgium VS Senegal

In the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32, Belgium faced Senegal at Lumen Field in Seattle on July 2, 2026 (Beijing Time), and secured a dramatic 3-2 victory after extra time to advance. Senegal took a commanding 2-0 lead through H. Diarra (25') and Ismaila Sarr (51'), before Belgium mounted a stunning comeback with R. Lukaku pulling one back in the 86th minute and Youri Tielemans equalizing in the 89th minute, then converting a VAR-confirmed penalty in the 120th minute of extra time to complete the turnaround. Statistically, both sides registered 19 shots each, with Belgium enjoying 52% possession, an xG of 1. 8 compared to Senegal's 3. 54; Tielemans scored twice and earned a match rating of 8. 3, proving to be the decisive figure in Belgium's remarkable comeback. Belgium progressed to the next round while Senegal were eliminated, ending a disappointing run of one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five matches.

The match kicked off at 04:00 Beijing Time on July 2, 2026, and was ultimately decided by a penalty in the 120th minute, delivering an extraordinary last-gasp battle in the single-elimination format.
