Scores goal in victory

De Bruyne scored one goal to go with seven shots (two on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Friday's 5-1 victory versus New Zealand.

Analysis: De Bruyne capped Belgium's dominant performance with the third goal in the 66th minute, becoming just the second Belgian player to score at three different FIFA World Cups (2014, 2018 and 2026), matching the milestone Romelu Lukaku reached earlier in the same match. He pulled the strings from start to finish, tallying seven shots (two on target) and four chances created while dictating the tempo of an attack that piled up 35 shots, the third-most Belgium have ever recorded in a World Cup match. De Bruyne's masterclass was at the heart of the Red Devils' emphatic 5-1 win, sealing top spot in Group G.

Most creative player on pitch

De Bruyne generated five shots (one on goal), 10 crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Iran.

Analysis: De Bruyne was Belgium's most creative force in Sunday's goalless draw with Iran, registering five shots (one on target), three corners, three key passes, ten crosses (two accurate) and one tackle across 87 minutes before being replaced by Matias Fernandez-Pardo as Belgium pushed desperately for a late winner. The midfielder's best moment came in the second half when his precise cutback found Maxim De Cuyper at point-blank range, only for Alireza Beiranvand to produce a remarkable reflex save that denied what appeared to be a certain goal, and he also forced Beiranvand into a strong stop with a long-range effort earlier in the match. With Belgium needing a win against New Zealand to avoid a second consecutive group stage elimination, De Bruyne's ability to unlock defensive blocks with his delivery, movement and shooting from distance will be the key factor in determining whether this Belgian generation finally delivers at a major tournament.
