Leandro Trossard's Historic Performance

FIFA World Cup 2026 witnessed a remarkable performance by Belgian winger Leandro Trossard, who not only energized his team but also etched his name in the annals of Belgian football history. In the match against New Zealand on June 27, 2026, Trossard scored two stunning goals in the 28th and 50th minutes, leading Belgium to a resounding victory.

With this achievement, Trossard became the first Belgian player since Romelu Lukaku in the 2018 World Cup to net two goals in a single World Cup match. He also ended a long goal drought for Belgium, a team that had struggled to find the net despite numerous attempts in previous matches.
