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!

83' A rare chance for Belgium

H

By Henry Hanson

Belgium starting to wake up in Seattle.

It still feels like too little too late, but at least they're beginning to do something.

Timothy Castagne rises in the box and puts his header wide before Youri Tielemans blazes over the bar from the edge of the penalty area.

78' Lukébakio curls one

H

By Henry Hanson

Belgium finally has a sight of goal, and it's a very good effort from Dodi Lukébakio.

He finds some room on the edge of the penalty area and very nearly curls his left-footed effort into the top corner.

And Rudi Garcia turns to his bench for the final time today, opting to make a change at fullback.

It's Thomas Meunier on in place of Maxim De Cuyper.

74' Can Belgium step things up?

H

By Henry Hanson

The Red Devils look so far off the pace right now.

There's no urgency in their play at all, with Senegal still having plenty of time on the ball.

Belgium heading for a very meek World Cup exit.

69' We've reached the final break

H

By Henry Hanson

And a scuffle breaks out as the players head for a drink.

But it's broken up almost immediately, and there's distance between green and white shirts as the advertisements begin to roll.

Belgium in desperate need of a spark.
