Swiss hero Johan Manzabi, who came off the bench to open the scoring in their victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, admitted he likely wouldn't be able to sleep after his performance. The 20-year-old talent netted two goals for the first time in his career, finding the back of the net in the 74th and 90th minutes.
“Honestly, it’s incredible – this is the first time in my career I’ve scored two goals, and to do it at a World Cup… To score twice in front of the fans and my family, it’s truly special. I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep tonight,” Manzabi stated.
The “Crusaders” secured a 4-1 win against Bosnia and Herzegovina, taking a significant step towards the Round of 16 by accumulating four points from their opening two matches. In five days, Murat Yakin’s squad will face group leaders Canada, who also sit on four points.
