Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The Golden Boot at a FIFA tournament is awarded to the leading goal-scorer of that competition. It is a separate honour from the Golden Ball (best overall player) and the Golden Glove (best goalkeeper), which recognise different qualities of a player's tournament.
At the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Poland, the Norway forward finished as the tournament's top scorer with nine goals — including all nine goals in a single Group C match against Honduras (a 12-0 win) — and was awarded the Golden Boot.
Lee Kang-in (South Korea) was named the tournament's Golden Ball winner for the best overall player, a separate award from the Golden Boot.
Andriy Lunin (Ukraine) received the tournament's Golden Glove as the best goalkeeper, not the top-scorer award.
Sekou Koita (Mali) scored three goals at the tournament but did not receive the Golden Boot, which went to the tournament's leading scorer.
Hence, the Golden Boot at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup was awarded to Erling Haaland.
