New Zealand's Tyler Bindon made history with his mother Jenny when he came off the bench in the men's World Cup opener against Iran. They are the first mother and son to play in the World Cup.

What happened?

Jenny Bindon, a former goalkeeper for New Zealand, played in the women's World Cup in 2007 and 2011. Tyler, 21, is a centre-back who plays in the English Premier League for Nottingham Forest.

Why it matters for New Zealand

Tyler's debut against Iran was a significant moment for the All Whites. His parents cheered him from the stands in Inglewood, California. Both of Tyler's parents are athletes, with his father Grant being a captain of New Zealand's men's volleyball team.

What comes next?

The All Whites face Egypt on Monday AEST in Vancouver. More than two dozen fathers and sons have played in the World Cup, including Claudio Reyna and his son Gio. Norway's Erling Haaland is the son of Alf-Inge Haaland, who played in the 1994 World Cup. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | Tyler's age | 21 | | Jenny's World Cup appearances | 2007, 2011
