The penalty, scored in the 124th minute and 44th second of Belgium’s Round of 32 match against Senegal, helped Tielemans enter the history books.

Belgium, who had trailed 2-0 with just four minutes of normal time remaining, scored twice in the closing stages to force extra time before sealing the victory with Tielemans’ dramatic late penalty, moments before the match could go to a penalty shootout. Heartbreak for Senegal Senegal appeared on course for a first win in a World Cup knockout match since their 2002 debut after taking a 2-0 lead through strikes from Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr in Seattle. However, Belgium forced extra time as Romelu Lukaku and Tielemans scored in the final five minutes, before the Aston Villa midfielder completed a remarkable turnaround by converting a penalty in the 125th minute.

Belgium go through to a potential meeting with the United States, who face Bosnia and Herzegovina later on Wednesday, but it will be a bitterly painful pill to swallow for Senegal. 10 goals for Senegal Before suffering a shocking defeat against Belgium, Senegal entered their name in the history books on Wednesday by becoming first African team to score 10 goals in a FIFA World Cup edition. At the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026, Senegal scored one goal in their opening Group I match against France before netting twice in a 3-2 defeat to Norway at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on June 22. The Lions of Teranga then thrashed Iraq 5-0 in their third and final group-stage match at BMO Field in Toronto and scored two times in 2-3 defeat against Belgium.
