Bruno Guimarães leads World Cup 2026 assist rankings

Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimarães finished the World Cup group stage as the tournament's top playmaker with three assists.

Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimarães has emerged as one of the standout performers at the 2026 World Cup. Following his two assists against Scotland, he now leads the tournament's assist rankings with a total of three, drawing level with Michel Olise and Alexander Isak.

Beyond his playmaking, Guimarães has been central to Carlo Ancelotti's tactical setup. He has been pivotal in both defensive duties—helping Brazil concede only one goal in the group stage—and in orchestrating an attack that produced seven goals across three matches.

Brazil secured the top spot in Group C, confirming their place in the knockout stages. The team is now awaiting the final standings of Group F to determine their opponent for the round of 32. Their next match is scheduled for Monday, June 29, in Houston.
