# Mbappé and Haaland: more goals, almost the same rate

Mbappé scored 10 goals in 769 FIFA minutes; Haaland scored seven in 537. Both round to 1.2 goals per 90. The chart includes all ten players with four or more goals at the men’s 2026 World Cup.

All ten players with at least four goals in the official FIFA Men’s World Cup 2026 Golden Boot table; Goals selected, All Teams. The next row has three goals. This is a goal-selected cohort, not a tournament-wide per-90 leaderboard.

Goals per 90 = 90 × match goals ÷ FIFA Minutes Played, using integer inputs from one official table. Match penalties are retained; no shootout goals or non-penalty adjustment are added. Source glossary defines minutes as total active participation.

The two panels use separate zero-based scales and the same FIFA scorer order. CSV retains Decimal rates; display rounds to one decimal. Mbappé: 10 goals/769 minutes; Haaland: 7/537. Both display 1.2 per 90, with a small unrounded difference.

Descriptive rates are not adjusted for opponents, role or playing conditions and do not establish player quality or causal efficiency.
