Youri Tielemans scored from the penalty spot in stoppage time of extra time, and Belgium came back from two goals down to beat Senegal 3-2 n the round of 32 at the World Cup. Tielemans was fouled just before the end of the 30 minutes of extra time were finished and the referee awarded the penalty after a video review. Habib Diarra and Ismaïla Sarr gave the Senegalese a 2-0 lead, but Belgium substitute Romelu Lukaku got one back in the 86th minute and Tielemans equalized in the 89th.

Belgium have come back from 0-2 down to win this match and book their spot in the Round of 16. A late penalty in extra-time and they have won this match. Senegal are heartbroken!

Youri Tielemans scores from the spot and Belgium led 3-2 against Senegal!

A foul by Lamine Camara on Youri Tielemans and Belgium have a penalty! Huge moment in this match!

Huge chance for Dodi Lukebakio and Belgium could have won it here! His shot crashes into the bar and they were inches away from victory!

Opportunities for both Belgium and Senegal to take the lead but it looks like we are headed towards penalties. Onana comes on in place of Trossard!

Senegal had the perfect chance to take the lead but the shot by Ibrahim Mbaye missed the target by the smallest of margins. The build-up play was brilliant but the finish let him down!

Belgium have made a stunning comeback and they had couple of chances to take the lead in this game. Lukaku missed out on getting a shot on target and later, Trossard had the chance to come up with an opportunity but the final touch was lacking. 15 minutes to go in extra time.

After the frenzy that produced two goals for Belgium, the match has settled down a bit. Both teams are looking a bit cautious in their approach and they will surely not mind taking this to the penalties.

Senegal and Belgium are headed to extra time at the World Cup after playing to a 2-2 score through 90 minutes of regulation. Habib Diarra and Ismaïla Sarr gave the Senegalese a 2-0 lead, but Belgium substitute Romelu Lukaku got one back in the 86th minute and Youri Tielemans equalized in the 89th.

The score is 2-2 after regulation time and we are now headed to extra-time. It looked all over for Belgium before they made a miraculous comeback with 2 goals in 3 minutes. Game on!

Youri Tielemans scores and Belgium are back! It is 2-2 and the crowd cannot believe it. A perfect cross by Trossard and Tielemans was able to head it in! What scenes!

Romelu Lukaku scores and Belgium have some hope! He was at the right place at the right time and Lukaku just had to tap in the ball into the net. Huge moment in the match!

This has been a disappointing show from Belgium. Not much promise in attack and huge voids when it comes to defense. They have not looked like a cohesive unit and Senegal have made them pay dearly.

Finally a dangerous chance for Belgium! The long-range shot from Dodi Lukebakio was curling but not enough as it missed the target by a whisker.

Not a single attempt on target in the second half for Belgium and that truly sums up their struggles. The attacking has not been great from Belgium and they need something special fast!

A big chance fell to Tielemans but the finish was just not up to the mark. Belgium had their fair share of chances but the finishing have really let them down.

Belgium are trailing 0-2 and they have decided to take a stunning call. De Bruyne and Doku are taken off and this is confusing. They are two of the most experienced players in the team with creative brilliance but they were both taken off at the same time.

A thumping finish by Ismaila Sarr and Senegal are 2-0 up. A piercing pass by Mane and Sarr came up with such a powerful shot that Courtois had no chance. The crowd erupts and this is perfection from Senegal!

We are just 5 minutes into the second half and it has been Senegal who have produced two great chances.  shot from Ndiaye was blocked by the defender and minutes later, Diarra's effort was wide of target.

The second half begins and Belgium have decided to take a huge call. Romelu Lukaku comes on and a lot will be expected from the experienced striker.

It is half-time and Senegal are still in lead. They were clearly the superior side and Belgium will need to bounce back fast! A late onslaught saw two chances for Trossard and De Bruyne but both were unable to find the finishing touch.

A long-range effort by Maxim De Cuyper and the Senegal goalkeeper looked in a spot of bother. However, he was able to get a hand on it and still no success for Belgium!

Romelu Lukaku is getting ready in the sidelines and it looks like Belgium may look to use him soon than expected. The Red Devils have really missed a focal point when it comes to their attacks and Lukaku can prove to be the big difference.

Senegal have a chokehold on this match and Belgium are not sure how to deal with these waves of attacks. Mane had another chance to double the lead but his finish was too weak to bother Courtois. However, Senegal will be quite confident with how they have dominated the game till now.

Belgium have been too slow to start in this match and it will be interesting to see how they respond after Senegal's goal. Senegal were quick off the blocks and except for a few attempts by Trossard, Belgium have not done much till now.

Habib Diarra scores and Senegal are 1-0 ahead! What a turn of events and Belgium are shellshocked. The header was saved brilliantly by Courtois but the ball fell to Habib Diarra who calmly tapped it in for the goal. What scenes and what a start to this game!

Belgium have come up with some attacks but they have struggled massively in keeping the ball. Senegal have looked like the more aggressive side and this is not looking good for them.

Another attack from Senegal. A strong shot from Gueye but this time, Courtois was placed well and he completed the save easilty.

Huge relief for Belgium! Courtois did not read the cross properly and was unable to collect it in the end. The ball fell to Sarr who slammed it against the post and the rebound ended up hitting the side netting!

Trossard was in sensational form against New Zealand and he is once again the main man for Belgium. He found a brilliant space in between the defenders but his shot was ultimately saved by the Senegal goalkeeper.

Both teams coming up with early offensive moves but nothing too dangerous. A long-range shot from Ndiaye did not bother Courtois while Trossard missed out on receiving a great cross just in front of goal.

The first half begins and both teams will be looking to grab early advantage. Belgium have depended heavily on their wings to create attacks while Senegal have shown great promise in link-up play. Interesting clash awaits!

Time for the national anthems. The players look ready for the clash and it will be interesting to see which side gains the early momentum.

The two teams are making their way to the middle and we are minutes away from the start of this clash. A star-stunned encounter featuring some big names and we can expect both teams looking to attack from the very first minute.

Both sides will be looking to earn a spot in the Round of 16, where they will be able to return to Seattle Stadium to face either the USA or Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Edouard Mendy will miss Senegal's knockout stage match against Belgium due to injury. Coach Pape Thiaw confirmed the Al-Ahli goalkeeper will miss his second consecutive World Cup match because he injured his knee in Senegal’s 3-2 loss to Norway in group play.

Belgium have once again decided to go without Romelu Lukaku in their starting XI. He has been an experienced campaigner for them but they have decided to use him as a substitute in this knockout stage match as well.

Belgium and Senegal have never faced each other in their international football history. The two nations are squaring off in the Round of 32, marking their first-ever official head-to-head meeting.

Diaw; Diatta, Ciss, Niakhate, Jakobs; Gueye, Gana, Diarra; Mane, Sarr, Illiman.

Courtios; Castagne, Mechele, Theate, de Cuyper; Tielemans, Vanaken; Doku, De Bruyne, Trossard, De Ketelaere

Welcome to the live coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 clash between Belgium and Senegal. A much-anticipated clash between two teams who are very highly rated but did not have a great run in the group stages.
