Undav’s Brace Propels Him to Top of 2026 World Cup Golden Boot Race

Germany striker Denis Undav has surged to the top of the adidas Golden Boot standings at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He came off the bench to score twice in Germany’s 2-1 win over Côte d’Ivoire at Toronto Stadium, bringing his tournament tally to three goals. Undav also set up two goals in Germany’s opener against Curaçao, allowing him to overtake Lionel Messi and Canada’s Jonathan David, who each sit on three goals after their respective hat-tricks. Other contenders include Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane. If players finish level on goals, the adidas Golden Boot will be awarded based on assists and, if needed, minutes played.
