What We Know

Senegal were eliminated from the 2026 World Cup in a round-of-32 match that finished Belgium 3-2 after extra time. Senegal had been leading 2-0 and looked set to reach the last 16, but Belgium mounted a late comeback to force extra time and ultimately prevailed when Tielemans converted a late extra-time penalty. FIFA’s match report and BBC coverage describe the sequence as an astonishing comeback that sent Belgium through.

The penalty that decided the match is the focus of dispute. BBC reporting names Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara as the player who gave away the extra-time penalty and notes his visible distress afterward; Al Jazeera describes the spot-kick as “controversial.” ESPN and other outlets reviewed the incident under VAR, questioning whether the award was justified. The immediate consequence is Senegal’s exit and Belgium’s progression to the last 16; the match has generated debate about the refereeing and VAR application in a high-stakes knockout game.
