Dutch forward Cody Gakpo is nearing the national team’s all-time World Cup goalscoring record, currently held by Johnny Rep since 1974. Gakpo scored twice against Sweden in a recent group stage match, bringing his career World Cup total to five goals. He previously scored three times at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Despite his progress, the 27-year-old player states he isn’t focused on achieving the record. The Netherlands won their match against Sweden 5-1. Gakpo’s performance contributes to the team’s campaign in the current tournament. He remains a key player for the Dutch national side.
