🎥 Jovem de 20 anos brilha vindo do banco enquanto a Suíça arrasa, assista

Johan Manzambi, just 20 years old, arrived at the FIFA World Cup as one of Switzerland’s bets.

And the Freiburg striker made ALL THE DIFFERENCE for his national team this Thursday (18).

Wearing the No. 9 shirt, he became the main attraction in the 71st minute — when the deadlock still held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

He opened the scoring three minutes later and also netted Switzerland’s third in the 4-1 win over Bosnia in Group B.

A result that put the Nati in a great position to qualify either as group winners or runners-up. 

An unforgettable day, right?

Manzambi was called up after impressing in the ten matches he played in the qualifiers and friendlies. 

He hasn’t even been with the senior national team for a year yet.

He scored in both qualifier matches against Sweden and also in a friendly against the USA. Stamping his ticket to the squad. 

He took part in both tune-up matches during preparations for the World Cup and played 25 minutes in Switzerland’s frustrating opener against Qatar.

The new chance came and... he took it.

At 20 years, eight months and four days old, he became the youngest player ever to come off the bench and score twice in a World Cup match. 

See below how the gem delivered such an impactful performance:
