Leandro Trossard and Youri Tielemans had to be separated as the pair furiously argued on the pitch, although no bad blood remained.
With Belgium trailing 2-0 in the second-half of their World Cup round of 32 tie against Senegal, emotions boiled over for two of their main men.
Tensions run high
As both sides headed over to the sidelines for a hydration break in the 70th minute, footage panned to Trossard and Tielemans in a heated exchange.
Aston Villa star Tieleman’s appeared to have been left angered after Trossard opted to cross rather than pass the ball to him.
The Villa midfielder could be seen furiously walking towards Arsenal’s Trossard and addressing him angrily.
With Tielemans gesturing wildly in frustration, Trossard was shown arguing back at his teammate, also waving his arms.
As both stars showed no signs of backing down, this forced Romelu Lukaku to step in and separate the pair.
The ex-Manchester United and Chelsea striker could be seen coming between the two and pulling Trossard away.
Another of Belgium‘s players, Nicolas Raskin, also tried to cool things down, while a number of Senegal’s stars were shown trying to intervene.
While both Trossard and Tielemans then continued to bicker afterwards, the argument did not escalate into anything more.
Incredible comeback
Emotions were understandably at near boiling point in the clash, with Belgium 2-0 down at the time and staring at a World Cup exit.
Sunderland’s Habib Diarra put Senegal in front after 24 minutes, tapping home the rebound after Ismaila Sarr‘s header hit the post.
Crystal Palace forward Sarr turned goalscorer in the second half, as he fired the ball past Thibaut Courtois minutes after the restart.
And Belgium looked to be losing their heads and heading for their earliest exit since the 1998 World Cup when Trossard and Tielemans came to blows with twenty minutes remaining.
But after stepping between his teammates, Lukaku then played a far bigger role in the game soon after.
With less than five minutes of normal time remaining, the Napoli striker pulled a goal back as his near-post flick found the back of the net.
But the most unlikely scenario unfolded just moments later, as Belgium completed an incredible comeback.
And it was all thanks to their warring duo, as Trossard’s cross was fumbled into the path of Tielemans to head home the equaliser.
This sparked wild scenes among the Belgian ranks, who celebrated forcing the game to extra-time to keep their World Cup dream alive.
Trossard and Tieleman’s had clearly forgotten all about their earlier spat after combining for the equaliser.
The pair hugged as they celebrated getting Belgium back into the game, smiling as they made their way back to the halfway line.
Dramatic ending
The greatest drama was still to come in extra time, when, just as the game looked set for penalties, Belgium were awarded a spot kick.
After Dodi Lukebakio’s effort hit the crossbar, referee Hector Sorto was then sent to the VAR monitor, with Tielemans having gone down under Lamine Camara’s challenge in the build-up.
Minutes of deliberation followed before a penalty was then awarded, sparking outrage among the Senegal ranks.
With the African nation having been stripped of their Africa Cup of Nations title in March, after they were adjudged to forfeited the match when they walked off the pitch in protest at a penalty that was awarded to Morocco, this felt a familiar scene.
While Senegal’s players stayed on the pitch following their latest VAR controversy, there was then drama as defender Pathe Ciss went to go to ground on the penalty spot in an attempt to delay the spot-kick.
After what felt like ages, Tielemans eventually stepped up and coolly converted to fire Belgium in front and send them through.
It sparked pandemonium among the Red Devils, who celebrated a 125th-minute winner, while Senegal despaired after more heartache.
