African teams face late game struggles
The 2026 World Cup witnessed a phenomenon known as the "86th Minute Curse," where three African teams received decisive goals in the 86th minute of their matches, leading to their elimination from the tournament. Ivory Coast was the first victim after a goal from Erling Haaland, followed by Harry Kane's goal for Congo, and Senegal's fall to Belgium after their last-minute equalizer.
