SEATTLE, United States (AFP) — Youri Tielemans scored the latest winner in World Cup history as Belgium mounted an incredible comeback from two goals down to beat Senegal 3-2 and qualify for the last 16 of the World Cup on Wednesday.
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.
