Johan Manzambi News: Continues breakout World Cup

Manzambi assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Thursday's 2-0 win against Algeria.

Manzambi was the catalyst for Switzerland's opening goal in Thursday's 2-0 win over Algeria, bursting forward on a counter-attack from his own half and driving down the left channel before delivering an inch-perfect cross for Breel Embolo to finish from close range in the first half, also registering one chance created and five duels won across his 71 minutes before being replaced by Noah Okafor after appearing to grimace with a knock. The forward is now the youngest player since 1966 to reach five goal involvements (three goals, two assists) at a World Cup, with his frightening pace, power and directness against Algeria reinforcing his status as the most exciting individual revelation of the tournament.
