Youri Tielemans struck a 125th-minute penalty as Belgium rallied from two goals down and defeated Senegal 3-2 after extra time in their World Cup last 32 clash in Seattle on Wednesday to keep alive their title hopes that had looked dead and buried, Reuters reports.
Senegal’s Lamine Camara slid in on Tielemans as the ball flashed across the face of goal and conceded the spot kick after a video assistant referee review, with the Belgian picking out the top corner to complete an extraordinary comeback.
Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr had given Senegal a deserved 2-0 lead and they looked to be cruising through to the next round before Belgium netted twice in the final four minutes through Romelu Lukaku and Tielemans to force extra time.

This is really sad!!
African teams na all the same….
The same mentality…
Nonsense…..
The only difference na packaging…
They can not hold on to a lead….
And see the way I was strongly behind senegal…
So na only morocco go dey lift the african flag so high in world cup tournaments….
Later they will come and be seeing themselves as only arab nation….
I never supported them against the dutch side…
Lets hope ghana my west african brothers will make us proud against colombia…
This one wey senegal don dash our hope….
Dreaming to think Ghana will get the better of Colombia!
Lets keep fingers crossed my bro @greenturf
I love Ghanaians but when it comes to football,I must be honest,I would rather they lose.
Not necessarily out of malice,but simply to protect our bragging right and avoid the unpleasantness of being mocked!It used to be bad and toxic here by these fellas,Yaw and other one,forgot his name and a few others..
Deriving pleasure from another’s misfortune between rivals is common in football..
Hahahaha I get it bro…
