Will there be extra time and penalties if Belgium versus Senegal ends in a draw at the 2026 World Cup?

Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans scored late in the second half to draw Belgium level at 2-2 against Senegal in the Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Senegal took the lead in the first half when Habib Diarra scored from close range. The African team doubled its lead through Ismaila Sarr just six minutes into the second half.

The match seemed over until Belgium made a late turnaround, scoring two goals in less than six minutes.

What happens if Belgium versus Senegal ends in a draw after 90 minutes?

If the match between Bekgium and Senegak remains tied after 90 minutes plus injury time, 30 minutes of extra time will be added, which will be divided into two halves.

If the winner is not determined even after that, a penalty shootout will decide which team will advance to the pre-quarter-finals
