This unfortunate moment experienced by Lammens garnered widespread reaction on global platforms as well as in the Belçika media.

The struggle of the Belçikalı players was found extremely commendable in large parts of the match against İspanya. Until the goalkeeper made that critical blunder, the red-blacks displayed an incredible example of resilience on the field. International media organizations acknowledge that despite the İspanyol team's favorite status, Belçika challenged them significantly and made a great effort to stop their star players. The desire of the Belçikalı football players on the field and their contractual attitudes gained appreciation from football fans regardless of the match's score. This resistance shown by the team in general was seen as a reflection of their consistent performance throughout the tournament.

International news agencies and sports websites conveyed this dramatic development to their readers with the headlines they published after the match. The headlines generally emphasized the expressions that 'Kırmızı Şeytanlar' experienced hell and that the fate of the match changed with Senne Lammens's mistakes. Belçika's elimination in this way led to a reshaping of expectations and the course regarding the championship in the football world. While the Belçika media agreed with the international press's harsh criticisms towards goalkeeper Lammens, they also expressed their pride in the team's overall performance. These news stories ranked at the top of the global sports agenda following Belçika's elimination from the Dünya Kupası.

As a result, the Belçika national football team found themselves returning home after failing to overcome the quarter-final barrier in this Dünya Kupası. This defeat against İspanya and Lammens's mistake, which became a subject in the press, could mark the beginning of a deep period of reckoning for Belçika football. While this fiercely contested match against a strong opponent opened the way to the semi-finals for İspanya, it represented a sorrowful end to the tournament for Belçika. The international media portraying the bravely fighting Belçika team as if they were punished for an unjust mistake increased the emotional burden of the match. In the upcoming period, what will be changed in Belçika's football infrastructure, especially in the goalkeeper position, will be among the most debated topics following this defeat.
