Under the radar: these less-than-stars have made an impact at the World Cup. The opening matches spotlight players beyond the superstars, including Livano Comenencia of Curaçao, Boualem Khoukhi of Qatar, Jovo Lukic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Elijah Just of New Zealand, and Emam Ashour of Egypt. Comenencia, 22, scored Curaçao’s first World Cup goal after progressing via PSV and Juventus reserves before arriving at Zurich; Khoukhi, 35, helped Qatar earn its first World Cup point with a stoppage-time deflection; Lukic scored Bosnia’s first competitive goal on Canadian soil; Just notched two goals for New Zealand against Iran; Ashour is highlighted for his international debut contributions. Vozinha, despite a large following, is noted as not included here for being too famous.
