Tielemans ‘proud’ of Belgium’s comeback to overcome Senegal

[p]It was an eventful afternoon for the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/aston-villa/W00wmLO0/"]Aston Villa[/a] midfielder, who scored twice, and had to be separated from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/trossard-leandro/xUAbnjp2/"]Leandro Trossard[/a] during the second half in what, until the 85th minute, was a hugely frustrating day for the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-united/ppjDR086/"]Red Devils[/a].[/p][p]But two goals in three minutes, one from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/lukaku-romelu/dCkG0Iw0/"]Romelu Lukaku[/a] and the second from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tielemans-youri/GtkTQyib/"]Tielemans[/a], helped them to extra time before he wrapped it up with a penalty after he had been fouled by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/camara-lamine/boBGHitI/"]Lamine Camara[/a] for the referee to point to the spot - after a VAR intervention.[/p][p]It was the latest goal in World Cup history.[/p][p]Speaking after the game, Tielemans told [i][b]Flashscore[/b][/i] and assorted media: “Being part of this comeback is a proud moment because I scored the last two goals.[/p][p][b]“I’m very proud of that and to bring us over the line.”[/b][/p][embed guid="ce4c0ac0-7d2d-4b0d-8d81-d96428864a23" url="https://x.com/BelRedDevils/status/2072460232152777063" social-type="twitter" /][p]Trossard and Tielemans’ altercation threatened to derail any [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/belgium/GbB957na/"]Belgium[/a] comeback, with the captain gesticulating furiously at his number 10 after another play broke down. A hydration break gave both a moment to cool off, before they combined for their team’s leveller in the 89th minute.[/p][p]The win means Belgium will now stay in Seattle for another five days, as they wait to see whether they will take on co-hosts [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/usa/fuitL4CF/"]USA[/a] or [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bosnia-herzegovina/fqe7WYTr/"]Bosnia & Herzegovina[/a] for a place in the quarter-finals.[/p][p]It means there is no extra travel for Tielemans and his teammates, something that could be an advantage moving forward.[/p][p]He explained: “We’re very happy to stay here to avoid a lot of travelling as well, which in the end can make a difference.”[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/news/soccer-world-championship-old-wounds-opened-up-for-senegal-as-tielemans-inspires-belgium-in-wild-comeback/Mc71TP3j/"]Check out analysis from the game with Flashscore.[/a][/p][infobox id="4ccc1b10-d68f-4c97-bcf4-5e613c17c2e3" /]
