Belgium were rocked to the core but fought back from 2-0 down against Senegal to grab two late goals and force extra-time by the skin of their teeth.
Then Youri Tielemans fired home a superb 125th-minute penalty to break Senegalese hearts and send Belgium through.
But it was early in the second half that Lammens had his mid-match snack.
The TV cameras showed Red Devils boss Rudi Garcia frantically writing notes in the dugout.
