An unusual coincidence is accompanying the journey of African national teams in the knockout stage. After convincing performances in the groups, the teams from the black continent are falling one after another, while all the eliminations have a common denominator: the 86th minute.
The first to experience this fate was Ivory Coast, who were punished by Norway with Erling Haaland's goal in the 86th minute.
The same scenario was repeated for the Democratic Republic of Congo. England found the decisive goal through Harry Kane, again in the 86th minute, sealing qualification.
Even Senegal couldn't escape this "curse." Belgium secured the victory thanks to Romelu Lukaku's goal, which came in the 86th minute.
A series that has turned the 86th minute into a "nightmare" for African teams in this tournament. Now, the burden of representing the continent falls on Egypt, Algeria and Ghana, who are still in the competition and will try to break this unfortunate trend.
