Wipe away your tears and stand up!

As the match entered the final seconds of the second half of extra time, and everyone was awaiting the penalty shootout between Senegal and Belgium, the most heartbreaking moment occurred on the Seattle pitch.

In an attempt to support the defense, midfielder Lamine Camara rushed back and, unintentionally, his tackle resulted in a penalty for Senegal. From the penalty spot, Tielemans made no mistake, securing a 3-2 victory and completing Belgium's incredible comeback in the 120+5th minute!

After referee Said Martinez blew the final whistle, the 22-year-old midfielder covered his face and tears streamed down his cheeks. Despite the hugs and comforting words from his teammates, he understood perfectly well that even the smallest mistake had erased all the efforts the team had put in beforehand.

The harsh reality of football often befalls those responsible for defense. An attacking player who misses a scoring opportunity can always try again. But when a player makes a mistake in defense, becoming the "villain" is almost inevitable! The tragedy is even greater considering that for the entire 85 minutes of regular time, Senegal was the better team, pressing their opponents and leading Belgium 2-0 until the 85th minute.

Perhaps, for Belgians, they will remember the moment Tielemans scored with a decisive shot to send their team through the 2026 World Cup . For Senegalese fans, however, they will surely not forget the image of young Camara almost paralyzed on the pitch, his shoulders shaking with overwhelming regret, immediately after the match ended. And somewhere, there are still those who understand Camara's pain, so that he will soon recover from today's incident.

On the opposite side of the pitch, just four years ago, striker Lukaku – who reduced the deficit to 1-2 for Belgium against Senegal – also bowed his head in disappointment and broke down in tears after being one of the reasons Belgium were eliminated in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. For a long time afterward, he remained the target of ridicule following his "disastrous" performance in Qatar.

But the Belgian striker still knew how to wipe away his tears, ignore the gossip, persevere in training, work harder for his club, and wait for the day he could return to atone for past mistakes. And he has succeeded, at least so far at the 2026 World Cup.

For Camara, the road ahead is long, and there is still hope.

Wipe away your tears and stand up, Camara!
