Summary
Youri Tielemans buried a VAR-awarded penalty in the 125th minute, giving Belgium a 3-2 extra-time win over Senegal after a 2-0 deficit.
VAR sent referee Héctor Said Martínez Sorto to the monitor after replays showed Lamine Camara clipped Tielemans from behind on Diego Moreira's cross in the final minute of extra time.
Tielemans had already equalized in the 89th minute after Romelu Lukaku started the comeback in the 86th, with both substitutes arriving after Rudi Garcia withdrew Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku.
The spot kick was the latest penalty goal in World Cup history and moved Belgium into the Round of 16 against the winner of United States vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina.
