2 matches, 3 goals, 2 assists! Germany's 29-year-old surprise hero appears, creating a goal every 11 minutes in the World Cup and setting 6 major records.

In the second round of Group E at the World Cup, which ended on June 21 Beijing time, Germany's men's team overturned a deficit to beat Ivory Coast 2-1, advancing to the knockout stage with a game to spare. The hero of the match was not stars like Wirtz, Musiala, or Havertz, but 29-year-old substitute Undav.

Having entered the pitch in the 60th minute, he scored a poacher's goal from Amiri's assist just eight minutes later. Then, in the 4th minute of stoppage time, he fired home from Nmecha's assist to seal the win for Germany. After the match, Undav was deservedly named the official Man of the Match.

In the first match, Undav also made an impact as a substitute, recording one goal and two assists to help Germany crush Curacao 7-1. In his first two World Cup appearances, Undav has played just 56 minutes, contributing three goals and two assists. On the World Cup stage, he is directly involved in a goal every 11 minutes on average.

Undav has thus set several incredible records. First, he currently leads all players in the tournament in direct goal involvements.

Second, Undav has set a record for goal involvements by a substitute in a single World Cup, tying with Cameroon's Roger Milla from 1990.

Third, Undav is the sixth player in World Cup history to score 3+ goals and provide 2+ assists in his first two matches.

Fourth, by producing five goals in one World Cup, Undav becomes the sixth German player in the 21st century to achieve this, and the first since 2014.

Fifth, Undav is the first German player since Miroslav Klose in 2002 to score in each of his first two World Cup matches.

Sixth, Undav's game-winning goal tonight is the second-latest decisive goal in German World Cup history, only behind Toni Kroos's free-kick winner against Sweden in 2018.

Although Undav may still struggle to displace Havertz from the starting lineup, his performances in the first two matches should convince Nagelsmann to give this inspirational supersub more playing time in the knockout rounds.
