Germany forward Deniz Undav has made history during the second group stage match against Côte d’Ivoire, becoming the sixth player to achieve at least three goals and two assists in their first two World Cup games.
This remarkable feat places Undav among football legends such as Max Morlock (1954), Gerd Müller (1970), Grzegorz Lato (1974), Preben Elkjær (1986), and Karim Benzema (2014).
Notably, Undav’s achievement is distinct as he is the only player in this prestigious list to have made such an impact as a substitute in both matches. This commendable performance has uniquely positioned him as a standout super-sub in World Cup history.
