Dimas Drajad and Ramadhan Sananta have emerged as joint top scorers in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers as of October 18, 2023. According to *Bola.com*, the two Indonesian national team strikers are closely trailing Argentinian star Lionel Messi, each with a total of three goals.

Dimas Drajad scored a hat-trick in the first leg of the first round of the 2026 World Cup Asian Qualifiers when Indonesia played against Brunei Darussalam at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, on Thursday, October 12, 2023.

Dimas Drajad is the only player so far to have scored a hat-trick in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. No other player in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) or the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) zones, which have already begun their qualifying rounds, has matched the Persikabo striker's feat.

Ramadhan Sananta scored a brace in the first leg against Brunei Darussalam. He then added another goal in the second leg when the Garuda team played away against the Tebuan team on Tuesday, October 17, 2023.

Meanwhile, Messi added two goals in the match on Wednesday, October 18, 2023 (WIB), as Argentina won 2-0 against Peru.

Previously, La Pulga also scored one goal when the Tango team defeated Ecuador 1-0 on Thursday, September 7, 2023.

In addition to the three players above, Nicolas De La Cruz also added one goal when his team defeated Brazil on Wednesday, October 18, 2023 (WIB), bringing his total to three goals.

Meanwhile, the two Brazilian stars, Neymar and Rodrygo, have each scored two goals.

The 2026 World Cup Qualifiers top scorer list is subject to change as many other countries have yet to begin their qualifying matches.
