Nobody inside the stadium could foresee the most preposterous of World Cup comebacks.Well nobody except, perhaps, Belgium manager Rudi Garcia, who even at 2-0 as the clock ticked towards 86 minutes was anticipating some late carnage.“We know these teams, they lose their tactical structure towards the end of the match,” Garcia told Belgian broadcaster RTBF. “We also knew they would do everything to protect their goal at 0-2. I think that was a serious mistake. Remind me not to do that when we’re two goals ahead.”Garcia’s comments added fuel on the fire of a ferociously contested last-32 tie which saw history made in Seattle, leaving Belgium euphoric and Senegal in despair. This is how it happened.Belgium were falling apart. Not much was expected of them at this World Cup, certainly compared to previous tournaments when they were legitimately amongst the favourites, but to lose meekly without laying a glove on an excellent Senegal side wasn’t in the script.Garcia is known for his unorthodox substitutions but even by his standards, these were extreme, with Jeremy Doku, typically their best prospect for some lightning-quick creativity, withdrawn in the 56th minute, as well as legendary midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.De Bruyne accepted his fate, jogging immediately to the dugout, but Doku shook his head, muttered to himself and slowly trudged off, with Benfica’s Dodi Lukebakio and Nicolas Raskin of Rangers sent on in their place. In the press box, the reaction from some Belgian journalists was equally outraged.That wasn’t the only sign of discontent. Leandro Trossard and Youri Tielemans became embroiled in a heated argument as the players paused for the second half hydration break, with Aston Villa midfielder Tielemans waving his arms and yelling at his teammate. “Hey, hey!” Romelu Lukaku shouted at the pair as Raskin stood between them to keep them apart.Youri Tielemans and Leandro Trossard have to be separated (Dirk Waem/Belga/AFP via Getty Images)“Lukaku took care of calming them down,” Garcia later said. “I like that; it shows our team is alive. They were so eager to win. I want players who want to turn things around when things aren’t going well.”
