  • فازت Belgium على Senegal 3-2 بعد وقت إضافي في دور الـ32 من World Cup على ملعب Lumen Field في Seattle، في 1 يوليو 2026.
  • تقدمت Senegal 2-0 عبر Habib Diarra (الدقيقة 25) وIsmaila Sarr (الدقيقة 51) حتى الدقيقة 86.
  • فرض Romelu Lukaku (الدقيقة 86) ورأسية Youri Tielemans (الدقيقة 88) الوقت الإضافي؛ وسجّل Tielemans ركلة جزاء في الدقيقة 125 بعد مراجعة VAR استمرت سبع دقائق.
  • ذُكر أن هدف الفوز هو الأحدث توقيتاً في تاريخ World Cup، عند 124 دقيقة و44 ثانية.

Belgium were five minutes from going out of the World Cup. Then came the wildest quarter of an hour — stretched, in the end, across three-quarters of an hour more football — that the Red Devils have produced in years.

Senegal had been the better side for most of the evening at Lumen Field in Seattle.

's header came back off the post. Six minutes into the second half, Sarr chested down a long ball and finished emphatically to make it 2-0, and Belgium looked flat, short of ideas and short of time.

The rescue began from the bench.

's challenge in the box. A video review followed — seven minutes of it — before the referee pointed to the spot. Senegal's players protested the decision, and pundits were split on it afterwards, but the call stood. Tielemans, the captain, waited through it all and then converted, with the clock showing 124 minutes and 44 seconds — reported as the latest goal in World Cup history.

For Senegal, it is a brutal way to exit a tournament they were minutes from surviving. They created the better chances for long stretches and defended well until the final minutes of normal time, when Belgium's pressure finally told.

For Belgium, the reward is a last-16 meeting with the United States — co-hosts, and on home turf in every sense: the tie is in Seattle, at the same Lumen Field where this drama unfolded, on Tuesday 7 July. For the thousands following from Belgium, kick-off comes in the small hours — and after a night like this, few will want to miss it.
