The scenario we witnessed today in the Belgium vs. Senegal game is literally a one-in-a-million occurrence!
Senegal completely outplayed Belgium in every aspectโpossession, transitions, chance creation, expected goalsโyou name it. They went 2โ0 up and stayed in control until the 86th minute. The game looked over. They were about to win and book their place in the Round of 16.
Then chaos unfolded.
Romelu Lukaku scored in the 86th minute, and Youri Tielemans equalized in the 89th after Senegalโs goalkeeper completely misjudged the ball, making it 2โ2 in the space of just three minutes out of absolutely nowhere!
And somehow, the madness didnโt stop there. Belgium were awarded a penalty in the 120th minute, converted it to make it 3โ2, and completed a comeback that even they probably canโt explain, sealing their place in the Round of 16 in what felt like a science-fiction script.
The Senegal players probably wonโt be able to sleep tonight after the nightmares theyโll have from this collapse. Without a doubt, itโs the biggest shock of the World Cup so far.
