The Aston Villa midfielder converted a penalty in the 125th minute to complete a remarkable comeback after Belgium had looked destined for elimination in Seattle.

Belgium will now face either the United States or Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Senegal's World Cup campaign ends in heartbreaking fashion.

The Lions of Teranga made the brighter start and nearly opened the scoring when Ismaila Sarr struck the post after Thibaut Courtois had diverted a cross into his path.

They did not have to wait long for the breakthrough.

Sarr's header from Sadio Mane's delivery came back off the woodwork and Habib Diarra reacted quickest to turn the rebound home.

Belgium struggled to find a response before the interval, with Mory Diaw producing an excellent save to deny Maxim De Cuyper from distance.

Pape Thiaw's side doubled their advantage six minutes after the restart when Moussa Niakhate's long pass released Sarr, who controlled superbly before firing beyond Courtois.

Belgium's hopes appeared to be fading, but the introduction of Romelu Lukaku transformed the contest.

The veteran striker swept home Thomas Meunier's cross in the 86th minute to spark the comeback before Tielemans headed home three minutes later after Diaw failed to deal with Leandro Trossard's delivery.

Extra time looked to be drifting towards penalties until Belgium were awarded a spot-kick deep into stoppage time following a VAR review that ruled Lamine Camara had fouled Tielemans inside the area.

Tielemans calmly converted from the spot to complete one of the most dramatic comebacks of the tournament and send Belgium into the Round of 16.

Senegal, who had been within minutes of a famous victory, were left devastated as their World Cup journey came to an end despite a superb display for much of the contest.
