Belgium vs. Senegal Highlights: Penalty Kicks Helps Belgium Advance
Updated: Jul 01, 2026 - 7:06 PM ET
Belgium rallied back to beat Senegal 3-2 and advance to the round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Senegal took a 2-0 lead on goals from Habib Diarra and Ismaïla Sarr. Facing elimination, Belgium manager Rudí Garcia subbed off stars Kevin De Bruyne and Jérémy Doku. The risk paid off as the Belgian side came to life. Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans each found the net in a four-minute span late in the second half to send the match to extra time.
Then in the final moments of extra time, a VAR check gave Belgium a penalty and Tielemans converted to seal the deal. After winning one of the most exciting matches of the 2026 World Cup, Belgium will play the winner of the U.S. and Bosnia And Herzegovina.
