Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Belgium and Senegal is underway.
  • 5' Bara Ndiaye has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' Senegal is showing some good football. However, Senegal are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' It looks surprising Belgium does not make any changes. El Hadji Diouf has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Against the run of play, Habib Diarra has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 30' Pape Sarr needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Belgium is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' Senegal started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 45' Ismail Jakobs has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 408 appearances.

  • 64' Belgium receives a card for a hard tackle on 64.
  • 66' A tactical swap from Senegal — Lamine Camara on, Pape Gueye off on 66 minutes.
  • 67' It’s gonna be a card for Lamine Camara.
  • 72' Supporters expect more eagerness from Youri Tielemans, as he is very good at scoring at Lumen Field with 2 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 73' Time for substitution for Senegal. Iliman Ndiaye is replaced by Ibrahim M'Baye.
  • 78' The Belgium manager makes a substitution. Maxim De Cuyper departs to be replaced by Thomas Meunier.
  • 83' Over 83 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 86' Romelu Lukaku doubles the advantage! 1-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 89' Youri Tielemans adds to his 3 season tally! Belgium lead 2-2 — and this changes everything.
