BELGIUM SCORES!
H
By Henry Hanson
As cool as you like from Youri Tielemans, who saunters forward and slams the ball into the top left hand corner of the goal.
It's a great penalty!
120' Belgium with a chance to win it at the very, very end
H
By Henry Hanson
We're well into stoppage time in extra time, and with what will surely be the final kick of the added period, Belgium has an opportunity to complete one of the World Cup's most unlikely comebacks.
Players from both sides converge on the penalty spot, and there's a little push and shove.
Pathé Ciss takes a nudge to the stomach and goes down theatrically directly over the top of the penalty spot.
Eventually he's up.
Romelu Lukaku holds the ball before passing the ball to Youri Tielemans, who is finally set to take the penalty.
119' Lukébakio chance and VAR check
H
By Henry Hanson
Oh my gosh.
Belgium goes so, so close to a late, late winner.
Diego Moreira is breaking down the right and slides in a low cross across the six-yard box.
It's half cleared by a Senegalese leg, but the ball only gets as far as Dodi Lukébakio, who has acres of space and looks destined to score.
He curls his effort onto the crossbar.
But wait ...
There's a VAR check for a penalty!
There was a coming together as the ball fizzed across the six-yard box, with Lamine Camara sliding into the back of Youri Tielemans.
The referee is asked to consult his monitor ...
AND IT'S A PENALTY!
BELGIUM WITH A CHANCE TO WIN IT!
115' Senegal finishing the strongest
H
By Henry Hanson
It's the men in green who have wind in their sails as we creep closer to penalties.
It's Nicholas Jackson who has an opportunity to run at a retreating Belgian defence.
He turns this way and that, before slamming his cross against a Belgium body and earning a corner.
The set-piece is easily claimed by Thibaut Courtois.
111' A Senegalese-born player comes off the bench for Belgium
H
By Henry Hanson
There's a slight break in play as Diego Moreira receives some treatment for a head knock.
Thankfully, he's up and smiling before too long, and it looks like he'll be able to continue.
Meanwhile, it's a big moment for Amadou Onana, who enters the game for Belgium.
The midfielder was born in Senegal and has often spoken of his affection for the country of his birth.
109' Massive chance Senegal!
H
By Henry Hanson
Oh wow, Senegal should be back in front.
It's teenage livewire Ibrahim Mbaye, on as a late substitute, receiving a perfectly directed cut-back on the penalty spot.
However, the youngster never quite gets set, opening up his body and side-footing his shot well wide.
107' Raskin rises
H
By Henry Hanson
We're back for the second period of extra time, and once again it's Belgium pushing forward after the restart.
A ball is worked into the penalty area and it's Nicolas Raskin rising.
He makes contact with his head, but his shot bobbles well wide.
Half-time in extra-time
H
By Henry Hanson
A 15 minutes of football with very little incident, with penalties looming larger and larger with each passing second.
104' Belgium going close
H
By Henry Hanson
Leandro Trossard is still full of running for Belgium, and is at the heart of a promising raid forward.
He wallops a shot towards goal but see his effort blocked, before getting in the box and almost on the end of a very tempting low cross.
101' Lukaku with an opening
H
By Henry Hanson
There has been very little going on in the first period of extra time, but Romelu Lukaku doesn't require much to make an impact.
He's making a run as a ball is lofted into the penalty area and there's a moment of excitement as the ball bounces in front of him.
However, it's an air swing from the big man, and Mory Diaw gathers with ease.
95' Rhythm yet to be found in extra time
H
By Henry Hanson
It has been a very subdued start to the extra period in Seattle, with both sides reluctant to commit too many bodies forward.
Another change for Senegal, with Idrissa Gana Gueye being replaced by Bara Sapoko Ndiaye.
93' Substitutions for Senegal
H
By Henry Hanson
It's a double change for the Lions of Teranga, with Sadio Mané and Ismail Jakobs making way.
Nicolas Jackson and El Hadji Malick Diouf making way.
Extra time underway in Seattle
H
By Henry Hanson
A shellshocked Senegal must pick themselves up and go again as extra time begins.
Belgium with all the momentum.
We're off to extra time in Seattle
H
By Henry Hanson
Belgium was absolutely dead and buried 10 minutes ago, with no fluency moving forward and unable to create anything in the final third.
But, somehow, Senegal lets a two-goal slip, and we're off to extra time once more in North America.
Who wins it from here?
90+4' Senegal with one last push
H
By Henry Hanson
The shellshocked Senegalese push forward with only moments remaining before we head to the most unlikely of extra periods.
It's Idrissa Gana Gueye with the ball 30m from goal and he lets fly.
It's not the worst effort, but it's always sliding wide.
Extra time beckons in Seattle.
90' We're into seven minutes of stoppage time
H
By Henry Hanson
And it's Belgium, back from the dead in Seattle, on the front foot.
Romelu Lukaku plays a ball on the edge of the penalty area and it's behind for a corner, which is just about defended by Senegal.
89' OH WOW! BELGIUM IS LEVEL!
H
By Henry Hanson
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SEATTLE?!
From absolutely nowhere, Belgium is level!
A hopeful ball is dinked into the penalty area, and Senegal shot stopper Mory Diaw comes and flaps at the cross, leaving his goal unguarded.
Somehow, Youri Tielemans gets his head on the ball and he guides it into the net.
Wow.
86' Lukaku scores! Belgium has a pulse!
H
By Henry Hanson
Hello!
Romelu Lukaku scores yet another goal for his country.
He's waiting in the six-yard box and is excellently found by Thomas Meunier, who fires in a good low cross.
Lukaku manufactures a smart finish and it's 2-1!
