Even by the standards of this World Cup. this was ridiculous.Belgium produced the biggest comeback victory of the tournament so far, rallying after going 2-0 down to equalise through Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans in the space of five mad minutes late in normal time before sealing a 3-2 victory late in extra-time after Tielemans’ penalty, awarded after a VAR review.It was a thrilling win but heartbreaking for Senegal, who looked completely in control after goals either side of half-time from Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr. Defeat will take some time to get over.Here, we analyse the major talking points.Was it a penalty?The contentious penalty decision was caused by Lamine Camara’s right leg, attempting to slide the ball away from danger after a low cross into the box.The question was whether Camara, at the near post, had caught Tielemans’ left boot. As the ball went out of play, the Video Assistant Referee started to check the incident.Heading into 120th minute, Tielemans was so sure referee Said Martinez, after going over to the screen upon the recommendation of VAR, would overturn the initial decision, he took up his position next to the penalty spot. It took several replays before a penalty was awarded.Youri Tielemans is fouled by Lamine Camara (Alex Grimm/Getty Images)Senegal reacted with a combination of disbelief and anger, provoking similarities to how they walked off the pitch in the AFCON final earlier this year, following another disputable penalty decision. This later led to their AFCON victory being overturned in Morocco’s favour.It all became quite unedifying. Defender Pathe Cisse went down injured, conveniently right on the penalty spot after a tap from Diego Moreira, taking the time between the adjudged foul to the penalty being taken to over seven minutes.Romelu Lukaku had the ball in his hands before acting as the decoy, giving the ball to Tielemans. Belgium’s captain, having scored the equaliser in the 89th minute, stepped up supremely, showing every inch of his experience and technique.Under huge pressure, Tielemans whipped his shot high into the top right corner, with expert precision.Jacob TanswellHow heartbreaking was it for Senegal?This will sting for Senegal.They were in control for 86 minutes, leading by two goals for 35 of those after Sarr’s splendidly taken goal. Pape Thiaw’s men could have had more too, with Sarr hitting the post twice before Diarra’s opener.Their attack, with Iliman Ndiaye, Sarr and Sadio Mane was humming. Behind them, the midfield trio of goalscorer Diarra, Pape Gueye and Idrissa Gueye rotated well and overloaded the frontline,. They provided the stamina needed to help Senegal’s defence ward off Belgium’s attacks too.Two lapses in concentration meant they were punished by a Belgium side that had offered little up to that point. That is how brutal these games can be at the highest level.Senegal know that, having had the margins work in their favour at the African Cup of Nations final. They had a goal disallowed and then a penalty awarded against them by VAR in second-half stoppage time, resulting in them walking off the pitch and returning following a dramatic 17-minute delay.They then won the game thanks to Edouard Mendy’s penalty save and Pape Gueye’s 94th-minute goal.They have not been able to celebrate that result either. The African Football Federation’s Appeal Board ruled that Senegal had forfeited the game, announcing a 3-0 win and the title for Morocco. Senegal appealed that decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and still await a decision on it.
