Senegal's World Cup dreams ended in heartbreak after surrendering a 2-0 lead to Belgium with just four minutes remaining. Goals from Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr had Pape Thiaw's side seemingly cruising toward the last 16, but a dramatic finale transformed the match entirely.

Romelu Lukaku sparked Belgium's revival with an 86th-minute strike, followed by Youri Tielemans' equalizer three minutes later from Leandro Trossard's cross. The comeback became complete in extra time when VAR awarded a controversial penalty against Lamine Camara, converted by Tielemans at 124 minutes 44 seconds - the latest goal in World Cup history.

Former players and pundits questioned the penalty decision, with Gary Neville insisting it wasn't a spot-kick and Roy Keane criticizing the referee's hesitation. For Senegal, the loss echoed their painful Afcon final stripping earlier this year, adding to their tournament agony.

Belgium's victory showcased the enduring quality of their golden generation remnants, including Courtois, De Bruyne, and Lukaku. The comeback from 2-0 down in regulation time marks an unprecedented achievement in World Cup history, proving that 124 minutes 44 seconds represents the latest any team has turned around a two-goal deficit.
