World Cup 2026: Belgium and England escape elimination against Senegal and DR Congo

We’ve now seen two of the most thrilling games at the World Cup so far, with tears of joy for some, and of sadness and shock for others. Senegal were four minutes away from securing a place in the Round of 16 before Belgium turned their 2-0 deficit around to equalise, before winning in extra time. DR Congo stunned England when they opened the score in the seventh minute and were a threat throughout the tie. But it was Harry Kane who saved the day for the Three Lions as he scored both goals to seal a 2-1 comeback.
