2026 FIFA World Cup Group Stage Goals Part 3: Key Wins and Qualification Takeaways
This video compiles group-stage goals from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, featuring teams such as Czechia, South Africa, Switzerland, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Morocco, USA, Germany, the Netherlands and Japan. The commentary focuses on substitutions, home-crowd momentum and qualification implications, arguing that sides like Switzerland, Canada, Morocco, Germany and the Netherlands answered questions with decisive performances.
- Switzerland's substitutions worked brilliantly and the game was almost certainly over — Substitute Ruben Vargas scored after coming on, and Yakin's changes paid off in Los Angeles.
- Switzerland are too good for Bosnia and Herzegovina and are coasting to three points and top spot — Mandzić scored twice and Vargas provided another assist; Switzerland reached four points in Group B.
- Canada have lift-off at their home World Cup and are on the cusp of history — Larin, who came off the bench, scored, Jonathan David added a first-half goal, and Canada led Qatar 2-0 as they chased their first ever World Cup win.
- Canada are cooking up something special, leading 3-0 before half-time — Buchanan's play on the right created chances, and Canada kept competing for second balls and following up with more desire to score.
- Saibari is bringing Moroccan magic to the World Cup, and this was exactly the start Scotland did not want — Inside barely 60 seconds, Saibari beat Angus Gunn with a precise and powerful finish to put Morocco ahead.
- Undav can make the difference off the bench and may grab all three points to send Germany through — He has eight goals in his last eight caps and scored after coming on; Côte d'Ivoire led in the first half but Germany turned it around late.
- Putting Brobbey in the starting lineup was the right call, and the Dutch answered their doubters — Brobbey linked play and then ran into the six-yard box to score, before adding a second from Dumfries' cross; the Netherlands had been doubted.
- The Netherlands are clearly the greatest soccer-playing nation never to have won the World Cup — They have reached three finals without winning; Gakpo scored twice against Sweden as the Dutch produced a high-class performance.
- Summerville and Brobbey have become real options for the Netherlands — Summerville scored in a second straight game and got the fifth goal against Sweden, proving he can do big things at a World Cup.
- Japan have more than done the job and have been lethal — Ueda scored twice, and Japan added to a 3-0 lead through Junya Ito and others, converting chances ruthlessly.

Masopust wants to get out across. MY WORD, IT HAS DONE. SADíLEK >> [cheering] >> JUST THE START THAT CZECHIA WERE CRAVING. HOW THEY NEEDED A RESPONSE. HOW THEY NEED A WIN, BOTH OF THESE TWO. BUT IT'S ADVANTAGE CZECHIA. >> FROM MASOPUST, the weight on this pass is perfect. It just makes the decision for Sadílek. That's a wonderful finish and just the start Czechia were hoping for. >> This to level in Atlanta. And for South Africa, this has to go in. Makwala, PUTS IT IN THE CORNER. THEY ARE STILL ALIVE IN THIS WORLD CUP. >> [cheering] >> 1-1. >> SOUTH AFRICA IS A COUNTRY THAT dares to dream. AND MAKWALA HAS KEPT THE DREAM ALIVE FOR SOUTH AFRICA. The weight of a nation, THE WEIGHT OF A CONTINENT ON HIS SHOULDERS, and he dispatches it expertly. >> Well, that is the Rainbow Nation who might have just added a bit more color back to their World Cup adventure. South Africa here. >> [cheering] [cheering] >> Plenty forward here in red. And the cross is good. AND IT DROPS KINDLY AND IT'S IN. >> [cheering] [cheering] >> AND WHAT AN INTRODUCTION. YOHAN MANDZIC. WITH ONE FLOURISH OF HIS RIGHT BOOT. IT SPANNED PAST A HELPLESS VASIL in the Bosnia Herzegovina goal. >> [cheering] >> It's a game frankly IT'S BEEN CRYING OUT for a breakthrough. Now we have it. They can't really afford to sit off the Swiss here. In the position they're currently in. Nice approach play here from Switzerland. EMBOLO. VARGAS! >> [cheering] >> ALMOST CERTAINLY GAME OVER. THEY PASS AROUND. THEY PASS THROUGH BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA. Yakin inside. And when it fell to substitute Ruben Vargas he makes no mistake. And Yakin's substitutions have worked so well here in Los Angeles today. >> [cheering] >> First World Cup goal for Ruben Vargas. It's a real insurance now for Switzerland. Elvedi. Akanji. Vargas. And Menalo is a little SLOW TO READ THAT. THREE! IT'S MANDZIC AGAIN! >> [cheering] >> IT'S VARGAS AGAIN WITH THE ASSIST. Look at the SMILE ON THE FACE OF YAKIN. He knows what he's delivered off THE BENCH. TOO GOOD FOR BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA. TWO GOALS FOR THE 20-YEAR-OLD MANZAMBI. Switzerland coasting to three points and a total of four in Group B and they will be top. NICELY FIND THE CORNER. OH, [cheering] AND WHAT A FINISH THAT IS. MY WORD. IT'S HIS FIRST TOUCH. HE ONLY JUST CAME off the bench. DARMIAN MAMIć RIGHT OFF THE SWEET SPOT. You don't hit them any better than that. Granit Xhaka has the chance to put the gloss on an excellent second half display from Switzerland. Faces up to Nikola Vasilj. >> [cheering] >> THERE WAS NEVER MUCH DOUBT REALLY, WAS THERE? >> [cheering] >> 4-1 Switzerland. First time they've scored four goals since 1994 at the World Cup. You never really doubted him though, did you? With that left foot of his really finding the corner, giving the goalkeeper Vasilj no chance. >> [cheering] >> So, another opportunity for Canada to pose some questions with the set piece. >> [cheering] >> Again, it's not the best ball. Building up a head of steam here though, perhaps Canada. Johnston towards the byline. He stands it up. THE FIRST TIME >> [cheering] >> AND KAMAL MILLER LARIN DOES IT AGAIN. >> [cheering] >> Canada have lift off at their HOME WORLD CUP. >> [cheering] >> KYLE LARIN, WHO CAME OFF THE BENCH TO GET THE EQUALIZER against Bosnia, has got THE OPENER AGAINST QATAR. >> [cheering] >> KONé Cornelius Move to Fujairah. >> [cheering] >> Buchanan from distance. Oh, IT'S DEFLECTED. KONé! >> [cheering] [cheering] >> JONATHAN DAVID SCORES FOR CANADA. A FIRST HALF GOAL. AND CANADA NOW SURELY ON THE CUSP OF HISTORY AS THEY go in SEARCH OF THEIR FIRST EVER [cheering] World Cup win. They're two goals to the good. >> [cheering] >> Buchanan Johnston stands it up looking for Larin WITH THE HEADER. >> [cheering] >> BRILLIANT SAVE, BUT IT'S BUNDLED IN. AND IT'S JONATHAN DAVID AGAIN. >> [cheering] >> OH, CANADA ARE COOKING UP SOMETHING SPECIAL. THREE NIL, AND IT'S NOT EVEN HALF TIME. >> And it's great play down the right hand side again by Buchanan, a little step over >> [cheering] >> gets gets the ball back. They compete for the first header, keeper makes a save, and again it's just following in with more desire to score a goal. This is a really good area for a free kick. Dangerous area. Possibly for a right-footer. >> Looks like it's going to be the substitute Saliba. IT IS SALIBA, AND IN IT GOES! >> [cheering] >> EVEN THE SUBSTITUTES are getting in on the act now. >> [cheering] >> IT IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER for Canada. >> Stakio. >> Yeah, we just see Shaffelburg's gone high on the left, Oluwaseyi inside, almost playing like three center forwards, so when the ball does go wide, they've got real good numbers to attack the crosses. >> Stakio. Buchanan. Johnson on the out outside. Buchanan twisting and turning. Still not fully cleared. Shaffelburg across the face of goal, and it's five! There might BE AN [cheering] OWN GOAL ON THAT ONE. CANADA DON'T CARE. THEY ARE RUNNING RIOT. >> [cheering] >> FIVE OF THE BEST IN VANCOUVER. >> AND Qatar's day has just gone from bad to worse. Saliba. Shaffelburg. Saliba, so tempting to pull the trigger. He does. Flag stays down. >> [cheering] >> It's a World CUP HAT-TRICK ON HOME SOIL FOR JONATHAN DAVID. CANADA'S ALL-TIME LEADING SCORER GETS HIS THIRD IN STOPPAGE TIME. >> [cheering] >> AND CANADA MAKE IT SIX. >> [cheering] [cheering] >> LIRA, Quiñones collects this one. Julián Quiñones looking to cross. Target was Jiménez. KIM SPRAWLING OUT, HE SPRAWLS IT. IT'S TURNED IN! >> [screaming] >> LUIS ROMO HAS BROKEN THROUGH! THE CHIVAS PLAYER SCORES IN THE WORLD CUP! >> It's excellent from Romo. >> [cheering] >> He's always just to be in the right place at the right time. But when you look at Kim, something new. >> [cheering] >> He decided it very early he's going to come out. He's collected the ball. Kim on top of his own player. out and just couldn't keep it in his grip. >> [cheering] >> And Romo there, you see him anticipating right time, right space. And the connection's great. >> A breakthrough for Mexico here in Guadalajara for the Chivas player who calls this stadium home for his club team. >> As we saw Raphinha show that little gesture he made. It's been inches. Back Junior in the middle. Vini Junior more central. Now he takes it wide. And that shot is saved. And on the follow-up, it's going to go into the Haiti net. It's going to go down as an own goal. BUT BRAZIL HAVE SCORED. JUST BEFORE THE MIDWAY POINT OF THE FIRST HALF AT THE PHILADELPHIA STADIUM. >> [cheering] >> CUNHA'S TAKING THE APPLAUSE. IT'S >> AND here's Vini Junior stepping into the box, cutting inside, going for the far post. And on the rebound, Cunha's right there. But the defender cuts it off, and unfortunately, the ball goes in the goal. >> [cheering] >> He had one goal before tonight for Brazil. He's made it two. >> And this is smart from Brazil here allowing Haiti to have the ball more in the back maybe to find the space behind on the counter. >> It's a counter that starts now for Brazil. Vinicius Junior slips it through, and then it's >> [cheering] >> fired into the roof of the net. THERE'S NO DOUBT THIS TIME. Cunha has the goal. Brazil have two. >> Good recovery in the middle of field. Vini Junior gets the ball, automatically finds Cunha on the diagonal run, and he buries this left-footed into the upper corner. >> Does well. He's almost was falling away as he hits it, and you sense Placide's almost wrong-footed by that moment. But it hit the roof of the net with some force, and they can celebrate a brace for Cunha. >> [cheering] >> And again, Haiti caught flat. Vinny Junior's in, and Brazil have three. >> [cheering] >> They're starting TO SAMBA IN PHILADELPHIA, and Vinny Junior HAS HIS SECOND GOAL of this FIFA World Cup. >> [cheering] >> And once again, we see this play develop in midfield. Paqueta turns, sees all that big space behind. That line is so high. And of course, Vinny Junior takes advantage and tucks it right under the goalkeeper. >> [cheering] >> Here is Ioub Bouaddi, how impressive he was in that 1-1 draw against Brazil. And through it goes for Morocco's first CHANCE OF THE GAME, BRILLIANTLY TAKEN. >> [cheering] >> SAIBARI AGAIN. WHAT MOROCCAN MAGIC HE IS BRINGING to this World Cup. Barely 60 seconds played, and Ismael Saibari has beaten Angus Gunn with the fiercest finish. >> And Saibari, once he gets it, there's just far too much time to let a player of his quality just look up and decide where he wants to put it. Hits it with precision and power. This is exactly the start Scotland did not want, and exactly the start Morocco did. >> It really is very special. We've just gone 8:00 in the evening here, local time. The USA will win the group if Turkey fail to win. Turkey have to defeat. If they lose, they will be eliminated from the World Cup with one group match still to play. Paraguay can afford to lose and still make the last changes. WHAT A START! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE START! PARAGUAY IN FRONT. IT'S THE FASTEST GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT. AND IT HAS BEEN SCORED BY MATIAS GALARZA. 65 seconds or so played here in SAN FRANCISCO. THE FIRST attempt on target is absolutely on target. And it's the man who has come into the side today, selected by Gustavo Alfaro in midfield, who has fired them ahead. 64 seconds, the official time of that goal. >> It's a good surge. Oh, AND IT'S [screaming] IN! THE USA SCORE EARLY AGAIN! AND IT'S ANOTHER OWN GOAL! CAMERON BURGESS [screaming] PUTS IT INTO HIS OWN NET. FOR A SECOND GAME IN A row at this tournament, the [cheering] USA force an own goal to take THE LEAD. IT'S USA 1 AUSTRALIA NIL. >> [cheering] >> Down that channel, it's an excellent run. And it's a really good ball into a dangerous area. Pepi's waiting for it. It doesn't arrive to him. It's Cameron Burgess ahead of him that gets the last touch into the back of his own net. What a start from the host nation. >> And Bridges, who's already scored an own goal, certainly won't want to give away a penalty. >> Now, REHEARSED MOVE. DEST! MIGHT STILL BE! >> [screaming] >> THE FLAG IS UP. IT'S NOT GOING TO count for Alex Morgan. [cheering] >> After official review, the goalscorer was not in offside position. Goal is correct. [cheering] >> USA TWO, AUSTRALIA NIL. The celebrations may be delayed, BUT THEY ARE DELIRIOUS. >> [cheering] >> USA [cheering] ALL THE WAY! >> [cheering] >> There'll be many people tracking where the Ivorians might go next if they were to qualify for the knockouts and who they might face. It's still a bit early to be really doing that, but both teams have a real shout of proceeding. Here's Tie amande. Lovely ball over. WHERE'S IT GOING? IT'S GOING IN! FRANCK KESSIé! THE GROUP E PICTURE CHANGES WITH ONE TOUCH OF THE BALL. >> [cheering] >> WELL, we've seen the threat from Jean-Michaël Seri down this left-hand side on a couple of occasions, and he's had a couple bad touches, but this time he gets the ball right into the dangerous area. And Kessié gets it into the back of the net after a good block by the Germans and a great opportunity, but that's the threat that Côte d'Ivoire offer. And they've gone on the board first here in a bit of a surprise in Toronto. >> [cheering] [applause] >> Ball into Adeyemi. AND UNDAV! >> [cheering] >> THERE'S THE RESPONSE THAT YOU'D EXPECT FROM A SIDE OF THIS STATURE. AND FROM A PLAYER WHO CAN REALLY AFFECT THE GAME. And [cheering] those who've seen it and done it plenty of times before cheer a goal that Germany really needed. >> Did they ever? And what a ball that is. >> Dennis Undav. In his last eight caps, eight goals. Wirtz. Def touch for Brown. He was searching for Undav. Wirtz again. Amiri hovering to help. >> [cheering] >> This is Tah. METSCHER WHIZZING IT INTO UNDAV! >> [cheering] >> OFF THE BENCH TO MAKE HIS MARK. >> [cheering] >> AND QUITE POSSIBLY GRAB ALL THREE POINTS TO SEND GERMANY THROUGH TO THE KNOCKOUT STAGES. COTE D'IVOIRE IN FRONT IN THE FIRST HALF and behind right at the death. HE [cheering] IS THE GERMAN GAME-CHANGER. >> [cheering] >> Now that by Brobby, good play. Bringing Rhynders into it. Possibilities here for the Dutch. Look at the ORANGE FLOODING THE BOX. AND BROBBY IS THERE! >> [cheering] >> A GOAL THAT SHIFTS THE BALANCE OF POWER IN GROUP F. [cheering] THE DUTCH WERE DOUBTED. THE DUTCH HAVE DELIVERED. >> WELL, YOU HAD MENTIONED getting your substitutions right. Well, I guess putting Brobby in the starting lineup was He starts and finishes this. You see him in midfield, knocks this down. Now, what's he doing? Get into that 6-yard box. He beats everybody to the spot. Tremendous hold-up play here. Just to lay that off and then continuous run to get into the box to side-foot this home. This is a spectacular goal, and this has got the Dutch imprint all over it. >> Gravenberch with a really strong start in midfield. Van de Ven, who we know can move. He's the fastest player in the English Premier League. Donyell Malen Dumfries providing the angle, AND THE CROSS IS THERE, AND BROBBY'S THERE AGAIN! >> [cheering] >> WHAT A DAY HE IS HAVING IN HOUSTON! AFTER THE FRUSTRATION, after the questions, after that draw with HAVE DELIVERED AN ANSWER EMPHATICALLY. >> This is a second goal for Brobby. This is making the manager Ronald Koeman look like a genius by getting him in the starting lineup, and it has made a monster difference. And he's got a pair already in 17 minutes. It's not hard to pick out that this was a first half that was dominated by the Dutch in the beginning and then you got the response after the hydration break. >> Somerville, oh, lovely feet. DUMFRIES AND IN FROM GAKPO! >> [cheering] >> SURELY NOW THE DUTCH OUT OF SIGHT IN THEIR QUEST TO GO TOP. THE ORANGE TIDE RISES IN TEXAS. Netherlands three, Sweden nil. >> It's Gakpo with the back post. Second striker, winger, attacking midfielder, he can do it all and he can score goals. >> Can they open the door now? Isak. Oh, he makes a horrible mess of that. And Gravenberch on it now for the Dutch. Somerville. Oh. Driving at the heart of that Sweden back line. Feeding Gakpo, he's got one already. He's got two now. Sweden being blown away here. Cody Gakpo with a double. What a devastating finish. And the Dutch are roaring to the top of Group F. >> It's the Cody Gakpo show now, but you got to give Quinten Timber a lot of credit here. Drove the ball out of midfield to get this forward very, very quickly. And then he picks out Gakpo. And this is a wonderful finish and this is an amazing class performance we're witnessing here today from Cody Gakpo of the Netherlands. The Dutch for me clearly the the greatest soccer playing nation that has never won a World Cup having been to three finals. >> Indeed so. Now Isak onto Anthony Elanga. CHANCE TO PULL ONE BACK. ON FROM THE BENCH, ON THE SCOREBOARD, ANTHONY ELANGA. >> WELL, THE SWEDES GET something to get happy about here. This is a fantastic goal in transition. Over-committed is the Netherlands. I mean, this is a nightmare. Elanga's run is perfect. The timing of the pass is perfect. And he just passes it past Verbruggen in goal. >> Yeah, great composure from Anthony Elanga. Now, DEPAY ONTO SUMMERVILLE! >> [screaming] [cheering] >> TWO IN TWO GAMES FOR CRYSENCIO SUMMERVILLE! FIVE GOALS TO GO WITH A FIVE-STAR PERFORMANCE from the Dutch. >> [cheering] >> Well, this is the kind of performance the Dutch fans, Ronald Koeman, and everybody wanted to see. And Summerville is a player now, to go along with Brobbey, that have become real, real options now, and they proved it out here today against Sweden. He's an emerging player that can do big things for you in a World Cup. >> [cheering] >> Is Japan looking to fashion a chance, and it's fallen to Nakamura, who hesitated for just a second. HE'LL TRY AND FIND THE SPACE, AND IT'S FORCED OVER THE LINE! AND JAPAN LEAD THROUGH DAICHI KAMADA. He scored the equalizer against the Netherlands, [cheering] and he's BACK ON THE SCORESHEET FOR THE OPENER AGAINST TUNISIA. >> NAKAMURA puts it in dangerous spot. Defenders, worst-case scenario facing their own goalkeeper. It takes a soft deflection. Nothing the goalkeeper can do about it. HOW MUCH KAMADA KNEW ABOUT IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER. 4 MINUTES IN, JAPAN'S taken the lead. Now, the manager is very unhappy with the decision from his captain to play all the way back to his goalkeeper. He's looking for pride. He's looking for confidence. He's looking for solutions. And right now, Tunisia hasn't found any. >> Would has options ahead of him, AROUND HIM. GOES FOR GOAL HIMSELF. AND WHAT A STRIKE THAT IS. WELL, AYASE UEDA >> [cheering] >> DOUBLES JAPAN'S LEAD. AND THE celebrations are wild. It is a deserved second goal. >> [cheering] >> And he is soaking up every second of this moment. Good flick over the top, but it's Junya ITO WHO'S DRIVING FORWARD. SURELY IT HAS TO BE. >> [cheering] >> THREE FOR JAPAN. THE BALL STABBED HOME BY JUNYA ITO IN SAMURAI BLUE. >> [cheering] >> WELL, THEY'VE HAD TO BE PATIENT so far in this second half, but rewarded with a third goal. >> Well, in this back line just lulled to sleep once again. Quick little flick in the space. And Junya Ito recognizes where the goalkeeper is, picks his side, goes close to the left of the goalkeeper trying to stay as big as possible. And Japan 3-0 lead. >> Well, that feels like the nail in the coffin, doesn't it? Sano lifting it up. A huge opportunity. And it floats into the back of the net. A second of the game for Ueda. Put on a plate. >> [cheering] >> A delightful delivery headed home. >> [cheering] >> And it is more than job done now for Japan. >> [cheering] >> They have been just so lethal. >> [cheering]
