Swiss midfielder Yoan Manzambi stole the spotlight in the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2026 World Cup.
Details: The 20-year-old was named FIFA's man of the match after Switzerland’s commanding 4-1 victory.
Manzambi entered the pitch in the 71st minute, and it took him just moments to turn the game on its head. He netted his first goal in the 74th minute, and then sealed his brace in the 90th.
At 20 years and 247 days old, Yoan became the youngest player in World Cup history to score twice in a single match after coming off the bench.
Previously, this elite list included Kai Havertz, André Schürrle, and Fernando Morientes, but now the record belongs to Switzerland’s rising star.
With this performance, Manzambi not only powered his team to a convincing win, but also etched his name in the annals of world football history.
Reminder: Earlier, we reported: Mysterious shadow. It has been revealed what cast a giant shadow on the pitch during the Qatar vs Switzerland match.
