Nagelsmann's joker! Undav sets unique World Cup record

Germany forward Deniz Undav has etched his name into World Cup history with a remarkable achievement during the second group stage match against Côte d’Ivoire.

After his performance against the Ivorians, Undav became just the sixth player ever to tally at least 3 goals and 2 assists in their first two games at the tournament.

Previously, only legends of world football had managed this feat:
— Max Morlock (1954)
— Gerd Müller (1970)
— Grzegorz Lato (1974)
— Preben Elkjær (1986)
— Karim Benzema (2014)

But Undav's achievement stands out: he is the only player in this elite list to have accomplished it coming off the bench in both games.
