The 2026 World Cup sets a new historical milestone.

The 2026 World Cup has officially gone down in history as the World Cup with the most goals ever scored.

According to Reuters on June 26 (Vietnam time), the opening goal scored by the US team against Turkey was the 173rd goal of the tournament, thus helping the 2026 World Cup surpass the record of 172 goals set at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

A historic milestone arrived early at SoFi Stadium when Austin Trusty scored for the USA in the 3rd minute. Not only did this give the home team an advantage, but it also marked the moment the 2026 World Cup officially broke the scoring record of the most recent World Cup, with many matches still to be played.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino believes this is clear evidence of the appeal of the new format. He emphasized that the 2026 World Cup, with 48 teams participating for the first time – more than the 32 teams of previous editions – has created more matches and opened up conditions for the tournament to see more goals.

According to the head of FIFA, the new record not only reflects the expanding scale, but also shows the dedication and increasingly attacking style of play of the national teams.

Following Trusty's historic goal, the USA-Türkiye match saw four more goals. Arda Guler equalized for Türkiye before Orkun Kokcu put the European side ahead.

In the second half, Sebastian Berhalter brought the US back to a 2-2 draw, but in the 90+8th minute, Kaan Ayhan scored the winning goal to give Türkiye a 3-2 victory.

This figure clearly shows the explosive attacking power at this year's tournament, where many matches are played at a high pace, with open play and a series of exciting back-and-forth scoring battles.
