Twenty-year-old Johan Manzambi came off the bench and buried a volley in the 74th minute to give Switzerland a 1-0 lead over Bosnia-Herzegovina in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group B match on June 18, 2026.

The SC Freiburg midfielder replaced Dan Ndoye and needed little time to make an impact. His decisive strike may prove to be the difference in a match where both teams entered desperate for their first win of the tournament.

A substitute’s moment on the biggest stage

Manzambi, born October 14, 2005, appears to have it in surplus.

The goal was his third in a Swiss national team shirt. He had already accumulated six senior caps and two goals before stepping onto the pitch in this Group B contest.
