Belgium secured a dramatic victory against Senegal in a World Cup 2026 qualifying match, completing an improbable comeback deep into extra time. Having seemingly booked their flights home, the Belgians found themselves needing two goals in the final minutes of regulation to force extra time at 2-2. The match then went into a tense extra period, culminating in a penalty awarded to Belgium in the 125th minute. Youri Tielemans confidently converted the penalty, netting the winning goal and sealing a 3-2 victory for Belgium. This remarkable result eliminates Senegal from contention and keeps Belgium’s World Cup hopes alive. The late turnaround is being hailed as one of the most stunning comebacks in recent international football history.
