SEATTLE (AP) --- Three people ran onto the field during Wednesday's World Cup
match between Belgium and Senegal in the round of 32, causing a stoppage of
play.
The people disrupted the game in the 32nd minute. Roughly a dozen security
guards were deployed to get them off the field. Belgium defender Maxim De
Cuyper held onto the ball amid the incident.
At the time of the interruption, Senegal was leading Belgium 1-0 on a goal by
Habib Diarra in the 25th minute. Diarra also scored in the 5-0 rout of Iraq.
Senegal advanced to the knockout round as one of the best third-place
finishers. The African team navigated one of the toughest groups in the
tournament, facing France and the Erling Haaland-led Norway.
Belgium won its group with five points. The Red Devils did not advance out of
the group stage at the last World Cup in Qatar following a historic third-place
finish at the 2018 tournament in Russia.
