In a touching act of sportsmanship, Romelu Lukaku earned the respect of many after convincing referee Jair Marrufo to not give a penalty kick when he went down in the box.
Tunisia goalkeeper Farouk Ben Mustapha made very little contact with the Belgian striker, but the 'keeper was rash in the challenge and failed to get the ball.
Seconds after he went down in the area, though, Lukaku raised his hand and went straight over to the referee.

Respect. Not may would have done the same, especially in such a huge game.
If it wasn't for Lukaku's gesture, the incident would have arguably gone to VAR. A great act of sportsmanship from the Manchester United striker.
Here's how social media reacted to the moment:
Lukaku became the first player to score in both of Belgium's opening two matches of a World Cup since Marc Wilmots in 2002.

And on the subject of Lukaku, no Belgium player has scored more goals at a World Cup or European Championships than the Manchester United forward.
It looks the 25-year-old he will be up there when it comes to the Golden Boot stakes, this year.
Take a bow, Romelu.
