The 2026 FIFA World Cup is now over, bringing an end to a monstrous 104-game tournament. In this series, I’ll be taking a look at some of the best matches from the tournament. Let’s take a look at the tournament’s biggest comeback.
One of the most incredible moments of the 2026 FIFA World Cup came during the Belgium and Senegal matchup, which featured the tournament’s biggest comeback victory. Belgium rallied from behind to eliminate an impressive Senegal side in one of the most memorable knockout stage games of the competition.
Senegal were clearly the better team for most of the match and held a commanding 2-0 lead while controlling the game until the 86th minute.
Despite Senegal’s dominant performance, Belgium refused to give up and continued pushing forward late in the match. After Senegal appeared to take their foot off the gas, Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans scored within the span of three minutes to tie the match 2-2 and force extra time.
Belgium continued to push forward after completing the comeback, eventually scoring the winning goal in the 125th minute to complete one of the most dramatic victories of the tournament.
This game was a perfect example of how important it is to stay focused for the full 90 minutes and beyond. The moment Senegal eased up, Belgium clawed their way back into the match and ultimately completed a comeback that will be remembered as one of the defining moments of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
