Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Teams have entered the knockout phase of the World Cup in Qatar and players are not only competing to win the title for their country but also the prestigious Golden Boot trophy for themselves.<\/p>\n

The Golden Boot is awarded to an individual player with the most goals scored in the tournament and in the case of a tie for goals scored, the number of assists by a player is then considered.<\/p>\n

If players are tied on both counts, the winner is decided by who played the fewest minutes. England captain Harry Kane took the trophy at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where he scored six goals and led his team to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Here is a snapshot of the top contenders for the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup: The 23-year-old scored against Australia in his side\u2019s opening Group D match and bagged a second-half double against Denmark as France booked their spot in the knockouts.<\/p>\n

Morata, who was edged out of the starting lineup by Marco Asensio in his side\u2019s first two World Cup games, set up Spain\u2019s fifth goal in their 7-0 thrashing of Costa Rica before getting off the mark himself to round off a one-sided opener.<\/p>\n

He put Luis Enrique\u2019s team ahead in their final group game but the 2010 champions were beaten as Japan staged their second stunning turnaround of the tournament to surge into the last 16 in the top spot.<\/p>\n
