2026 World Cup, overnight round-up

The full recap of the night at the World Cup!


The must-see moment of the night​


A remarkable record was broken very early this morning by a rising star who has just revealed himself to the world!

Nestory Irankunda, Watford’s Australian winger, was the driving force behind Australia’s incredible win over Turkey (2-0), notably thanks to his superb solo opener in the first half.

The 20-year-old also claimed a prestigious record with that goal: Irankunda has become the youngest goalscorer ever for an Asian confederation national team in World Cup history.

Nice to meet you, young man — see you in the next round against the USA!

The 3 players who stood out​


Nestory Irankunda is obviously among our 3 MVPs of the night, but the player who really made an impression is named Ayyoub Bouaddi.

The Moroccan LOSC midfielder was phenomenal against Brazil, delivering a commanding midfield performance in his very first World Cup match at just 18 years old. A display that stunned the football world!

Scorer of the winning goal against Haiti, Scotland midfielder John McGinn of Aston Villa, as usual, delivered a massive performance!

The player to watch​


It’s a first World Cup match for Viktor Gyökeres, Arsenal’s Swedish superstar.

Against a Tunisia side that has been struggling lately, he could already move to the top of the scorers’ standings.
