Lukaku Makes History with Four World Cup Substitute Goals

In the Round of 16 clash at the World Cup 2026, Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku created history by scoring in a 4-1 victory against the USA. Lukaku, who came on as a substitute in the 67th minute, scored his first goal in the 93rd minute of the match.

This achievement made him the first player to score as a substitute in four different FIFA World Cup matches. The former Chelsea and Manchester United attacker played a crucial role in securing Belgium's spot in the quarter-finals, where they will face Spain.
