The 2026 FIFA World Cup match between Switzerland and Bosnia and Herzegovina has made a significant mark in tournament history. In a remarkable display, substitute players scored a total of four goals in the game.
Switzerland triumphed with a decisive 4-1 victory, featuring three goals from their substitutes, while Bosnia and Herzegovina contributed one goal from a player who came off the bench.
According to data from Opta, this event marks only the second instance in World Cup history where so many goals have been scored by substitutes in a single match. The previous record was set during the 1982 World Cup when Hungary’s substitutes scored five goals against El Salvador.
