Belgium stun Senegal to reach World Cup last 16
Create us preferred on Google Belgium's Thibaut Courtois celebrates after the fit as Belgium qualify for the Round of 16 step of the World Cup. — Reuters SEATTLE: Youri Tielemans scored the recent 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 prevail in a World Cup knockout fit since their 2002 debut after taking a 2-0 guide through strikes from Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr in Seattle.
Yet, Belgium forced extra time as Romelu Lukaku and Tielemans scored in the ultimate 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 US, who confront Bosnia and Herzegovina later on Wednesday, still it will be a bitterly painful pill to swallow for Senegal.
A defeat would surely have signalled the finish of the route for the last remnants of Belgium's golden generation -- Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and perhaps Thibaut Courtois -- still instead they reside to combat another day.
