Junior has already scored four goals in FIFA World Cup this season, with Guimaraes topping their assist tally in the competition with three. Brazil have also relied on Lucas Paqueta and Rayan to energize their attack through key shots and passes.

In FIFA World Cup, Ueda has been Japan’s standout scorer with two goals, while also being their most creative player, providing one assist in the league so far.
