Ismaïla Sarr burst forward with blistering pace and power after a pinpoint long pass from Moussa Niakhaté. The Senegalese striker made the most of his speed, outpacing the Belgian defense before beating Thibaut Courtois to slot in the second goal in the 51st minute.

Sarr continues to shine brilliantly. This is his fourth goal of the 2026 edition and his fifth overall in World Cup history, further cementing his status as Senegal's all-time top scorer at the tournament.

The Teranga Lions returned from the break with unwavering determination, extending their advantage. Senegal's path to the round of 16 at the World Cup is now clearer than ever.
