Manzambi's World Cup Sensation Continues with Historic Goal and Assist

Switzerland's young sensation, Johan Manzambi, continued his stellar run at the 2026 World Cup. He once again delivered an impressive performance in the decisive 2-1 group stage victory over Canada. The Freiburg midfielder scored and assisted in the match, making him, at 20 years and 253 days old, the youngest player in 12 years to achieve such a feat in a single World Cup game. The last to do so was Dutch ace Memphis Depay, who electrified the crowd with a goal and an assist against Australia at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, then aged just 20 years and 125 days.

With his latest goal, the Swiss prodigy officially claimed the top spot as the highest-scoring player under 21 at the 2026 World Cup. Manzambi now boasts 3 goals in the group stage, surpassing Spanish and Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal in this prestigious ranking. His phenomenal display on football's biggest stage has immediately caught the eye of English giants Chelsea and Manchester United, who are reportedly circling the young midfielder.
