Switzerland's young forward, Johan Manzambi, has become an absolute national hero for his country at the World Cup. Coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute, he single-handedly turned the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina around in a matter of minutes, scoring two fantastic goals (in the 74th and 90th minutes) to secure a dominant 4-1 victory.
At just 20 years and 247 days old, Manzambi officially rewrote his country's football history, becoming the youngest Swiss player ever to score twice in a single World Cup match. Furthermore, he is only the third youngest goalscorer for his nation at any World Cup.
"It's like a dream. To be able to play at the World Cup, score two goals, and be named Man of the Match – I'm absolutely sure I won't be sleeping tonight. I just wanted us to win, it's a World Cup. We have to give our all, just like we did against Qatar. We knew we weren't good enough in that game; we just wanted to perform better, and we did that today," Manzambi stated.
"When I come on, I want to make a difference. When I play, I always give my best. We know we're always in this together. In the last match, the fans might not have been very happy with us, but today they can celebrate," the youngster added.
