Na Brobbey and Derrick Luckassen create history at the 2026 World Cup
Derrick Luckassen scored his first international goal at the World Cup, making him and Brian Brobbey the first brothers to score for different teams at the same World Cup.
In the match against Croatia at the 2026 World Cup, although Ghana failed, Derrick Luckassen had an unforgettable moment when he scored the first goal in his international career. He was the first player to score in a World Cup, creating a feat for himself and his brother Brian Brobbey. The two became the first pair of brothers to score goals for different teams in the same World Cup tournament.
Luckassen scored a 1-1 equalizer for Ghana, but after the match, he could not hide his sadness when the home team could not win. "It's a wonderful feeling, something everyone dreams of," Luckassen told reporters. "But I'm also disappointed that we lost. Qualifying is the most important thing. We hope to go far in this tournament, that's what we are striving for."
Luckassen's goal was controversial, with Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic claiming there was an error in the scoring. Initially, the goal was ruled out for offside, but after VAR intervened, the decision was changed.
