Hakimi’s goal gives Saint-Germain a special record in the World Cup | sports

Less than a month after winning the Champions League title for the second time in a row, Paris Saint-Germain continues to shine thanks to the brilliance of its players in the current edition of the World Cup finals.

The Parisian giant became the team with the largest number of different scorers in the 2026 World Cup, about two weeks after the start of the tournament, according to the French newspaper L’Equipe.

Hakimi’s goal strengthens Saint-Germain’s superiority

Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi was the last to join this list, after he scored the first goal for his country against Haiti, in the third and final round of the third group competitions, in a match that ended with the “Atlas Lions” winning 4-2.

Hakimi (27 years old) is the sixth Paris Saint-Germain player to score a goal in the current edition of the World Cup, a number that no other team in the tournament has achieved so far.

The six Paris Saint-Germain players who scored goals in the World Cup:

• Bradley Barkola: He scored the second goal for France against Senegal in the first round of the first round of Group Nine.
• Ibrahim Mbaye: He scored the goal to reduce the difference for Senegal against France (1-2) in the first round of the first round of Group Nine.
• Joao Neves: He scored the first goal for Portugal against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (1-1) in the first round of the first round of Group Eleven.
• Ousmane Dembélé: He scored the third goal for France against Iraq (3-0) in the second round of the first round of Group Nine.
• Nuno Mendes: He scored the second goal for Portugal against Uzbekistan (2-0) in the second round of the first round of Group Eleven.
• Achraf Hakimi: He scored the first goal for Morocco against Haiti (1-1) in the third round of the first round of the third group.

For its part, the Opta network confirmed that, with Hakimi’s goal, Paris Saint-Germain became the team to score the most goals in the World Cup since the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The famous network specializing in data explained that Paris Saint-Germain players have scored 36 goals since that World Cup edition.

Significant numbers for Hakimi

Meanwhile, Hakimi became the second Moroccan player to score and assist a goal in a single World Cup finals match, after his compatriot Abdeljalil Hada “Camacho,” who achieved this feat in the 1998 World Cup in France, against Scotland.

In addition to his goal in Haiti, Hakimi set up the second goal for his compatriot Ismail Sibari, after he started from the right side and passed a cross ball, which the latter put into the net with full force, scoring the second equalizing goal.
