Erling Haaland has drawn level at the top of the FIFA World Cup golden boot race, his brace against Brazil in the round of 16 taking him to seven goals and making it a three-way tie with Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi. The Norwegian has now scored in fourteen consecutive internationals, and the timing could hardly be sharper: with the tournament entering its decisive week, three of the game's great scorers are separated by nothing on goals. Mbappé holds top spot for now on the assists tiebreaker, two to none over both of his rivals. Every goal from here reshapes the race. The full standings, updated live, are below.
