Senegal managed to double their lead over Belgium in the 51st minute, leaving the Belgian squad down! After a golden opportunity wasted by Diarra, the Africans found a worthy second goal: a long ball from Jakobs saw Sarr race through the Belgian back line, shield the ball with his body and then pepper Courtois with a fierce shot that was out of reach.
