Belgium 3 - 2 Senegal

What a game!

Trailing to goals from Diarra and Ismaila Sarr, Belgium pulled one back through substitute Lukaku in the 86th minute.

Tielemans then leveled with a header just three minutes later.

With penalties looming, Garcia's side earned a spot-kick after a lengthy VAR check for Camara's foul on Tielemans.

Belgium captain Tielemans held his nerve, slotting into the top-right corner in the 125th minute to cap a frantic Round of 32 clash that will go down in World Cup history.

Garcia's team returns to Seattle to face either the United States or Bosnia-Herzegovina in Tuesday's Last 16 match, while Senegal heads home after a massive missed opportunity.

That's all for now, goodbye!
