The referee took several minutes to go over the video before awarding the penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Belgium is back in the round of 16 for the third time in four tournaments. The team reached the quarterfinals in 2014 and the semifinals in 2018 but failed to get out of the group stage four years ago in Qatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Belgians will next face either the United States or Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sarr scored his fourth goal of the World Cup, and one of the most beautiful of the tournament, to give Senegal a 2-0 lead in the 51st minute. He made a perfect first touch off his chest on a long ball from Moussa Niakhat\u00e9 and then sent his shot past Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senegal, which was without goalkeeper \u00c9douard Mendy because of a knee injury, took the lead on Diarra&#8217;s goal in the 25th minute. But Lukaku started the comeback by scoring with time running down and Tielemans forced extra time less than three minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senegal had advanced to the knockout round as one of the best third-place finishers, ending up in that spot after playing in a tough group with two-time champion France and the Erling Haaland-led Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Belgium players Kevin De Bruyne and J\u00e9r\u00e9my Doku both surprisingly came off in the 56th minute. <a href=\"https:\/\/japantoday.com\/category\/2026-fifa-world-cup\/senegal-and-belgium-head-to-extra-time-at-world-cup-at-2-2-after-lukaku-and-tielemans-score-late\">(JapanToday)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 Wednesday in the round of 32 at the World Cup.
