The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is currently underway. Teams are competing with one another to advance to the knockout rounds. The race for the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup has also started. While the competition is still in its early stages, some participants have already scored multiple goals. Nearly every day, the top goal scorers from the FIFA World Cup 2022 chart change.
Let’s take a look at the most recent list of FIFA World Cup 2022 goal scorers.
Alvaro Morata (2 goals):
Alvaro Morata, a striker for Spain, is proving to be a valuable supersub for Luis Enrique’s team at the World Cup. In an enormous 7-0 victory over Costa Rica, Morata scored the game’s first goal after coming off the bench. Then, in a 1-1 draw with Germany, the Atletico Madrid striker gave Spain the lead from the bench once more.
Andrej Kramaric (2 goals)
In Croatia’s 4-1 victory over Canada in their second Group Stage game, Kramaric scored both goals. Croatia’s first goal tied the game after Alphonso Davies had given Canada the lead.The Hoffenheim striker later added a third goal to his team’s tally.
Bruno Fernandes (2 goals)
Bruno’s scoring career began in the game against Uruguay, where he scored a brace.
In the extra time, he converted a cross into a goal and converted a penalty to advance Portugal to the World Cup’s round of 16. On numerous occasions, Bruno has shown that he is a master at taking penalties as well as scoring goals.
Bukayo Saka (2 goals)
In their opening World Cup 2022 game against Iran, England’s rising star scored two goals.
They defeated Iran by a score of six to two. The Arsenal player has been a huge asset for England during this World Cup, and we expect to see more of him.
Cho Gue-Sung (2)
The South Korea striker scored both of his goals in a 3-2 defeat against Ghana. Cho scored two goals in the space of three minutes to level the scores for his side, but South Korea eventually went on to lose the match.
Ferran Torres (2 goals)
The Spanish forward scored his two goals in the victory over Costa Rica. Spain scored seven times against the Central American opponent and Ferran found the net twice, one from a penalty.
Lionel Messi (2 goals)
Messi, who is in incredible form this year for the club and his country, wants to win the title this year. With a penalty against Saudi Arabia and a long-range shot against Mexico, he has scored in both games. Argentina dropped their opening match to Saudi Arabia, so they needed to defeat Mexico. Once more, Messi rose to the occasion and produced when Argentina most needed him to.
Mehdi Taremi (2 goals)
Iran’s performance in this competition was unpredictable. In their opening game, England trounced them. In that contest, Mehdi scored twice, one of them on a penalty. Unexpectedly, they defeated Wales with two goals to zero after being humiliated by England.
But in their final group game, the USA eliminated them from the World Cup. USA won the match 1-0 to place second in Group B and move on to the Round of 16.
Mohammed Kudus (2 goals)
Kudus scored a brace in Ghana’s 2-3 win over South Korea in their group stage at the World Cup. His first put Ghana two goals ahead in the first half. Kudus then went on to score the winner after South Korea had levelled the scores.
Oliver Giroud (2 goals)
Karim Benzema is unable to play for France due to a World Cup injury, so Olivier Giroud is the team’s primary striker. Giroud scored twice as France thrashed Australia in their opening game of the group round. France is the favourite to retain their title with Giroud at the centre of their attack and players like Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann on either side of him.
Richarlison (2 goals)
The 25-year-old international from Brazil has already scored two goals. Both goals were scored against Serbia, one of which featured stunning acrobatics. Brazil got off to the start they wanted thanks to Richarlison, and now that they’ve advanced to the next round, a lot more is expected of him.
Kylian Mbappe (3 goals)
The French national team player is a prolific scorer. The striker has his sights set on the FIFA World Cup in Qatar after dominating Ligue 1. Mbappe has one goal less than his previous World Cup record after scoring three in just two games. He assisted France in advancing to the round of 16 with goals against Australia and Denmark.
Cody Gakpo (3 goals)
The left winger is performing superbly in this competition. In each of the three group stage games against Senegal, Ecuador, and Qatar, he has scored a goal. Memphis Depay is still not ready to start, therefore Cody Gakpo has become a realistic alternative.
Enner Valencia (3 goals)
Three goals were scored by the Ecuadorian international during the FIFA World Cup 2022.
In the tournament’s opening game against the hosts Qatar, he scored twice, and in the next match, he scored against the Netherlands to tie the game. Unfortunately for Valencia, Ecuador’s 1-2 loss to Senegal in their final group match saw them exit the World Cup in the group stage.
Marcus Rashford (3 goals)
Rashford scored England’s decisive 6-0 victory over Iran in the tournament’s opening round while playing off the bench. Then, in England’s final group match against Wales, he struck a hat trick to conclude the group stage with three goals. He now ranks among the top two goal scorers at the FIFA World Cup 2022.
