Senegal’s campaign at the 2026 World Cup concluded following a 3-2 defeat to Belgium after extra time in the Round of 16. The match saw Senegal establish a two-goal advantage against Belgium through goals from Habib Diarra and Ismaila Sarr. However, Belgium responded in the final minutes of regular time, with goals from Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans securing a draw and necessitating extra time.
During the subsequent extra time period, Belgium managed a comeback. The breakthrough came from a penalty awarded to Tielemans, following a review by VAR concerning an action by Lamine Camara. This goal ultimately proved decisive, leading to Senegal’s elimination.
Following this disappointing result, Senegal’s captain, Pape Gueye, addressed his future involvement with the national team. The 27-year-old, who contributed two goals during the tournament, made a significant statement regarding his commitment.
