“I officially don’t like football any more,” Boateng says on SBS.
“I feel so sad for Senegal… this was not deserved for Belgium and Senegal, they can keep their heads up.”

“If the other way round, it wouldn’t be given to Senegal, I would be furious, you know,” Boateng said.
That’s fulltime in Seattle as Belgium advance past heartbroken Senegal 3-2 in a dramatic and controversial finish.
It was the latest winner in World Cup history as Youri Tielemans scored in the 125th minutes.

Tielemans’ controversial late penalty caps Belgium comeback over Senegal
A seesawing classic of a contest had just ticked into the 122nd Âminute, penalties all but a formality, when the referee, SaÃd MartÃnez, wandered back towards the centre circle to award Belgium a stoppage-time penalty. The VAR, Guillermo Pacheco Larios, had highlighted Lamine Kamara swiping away Youri Tielemansâs left ankle in the seconds before Dodi Lukébakio had skimmed the crossbar. For Belgium, it was a get out of jail card, Tielemans converting the spot-kick to propel Rudi Garciaâs side into the last 16. After 85 minutes, they trailed Senegal 2-0.
Just as it seemed Belgium would join Germany and the Netherlands in the World Cup departures lounge, Garciaâs side rallied to take an entertaining game to extra time. With an early exit and second-half stoppage time looming, Romelu Lukaku, a half-time substitute, and Tielemans scored a goal apiece as Belgium struck twice in three minutes to cancel out goals by Habib Diarra and Ismaïla Sarr.
