Franck Kessie
29-Year-Old
Al-Ahli
Records one shot
Kessie generated one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 2-0 victory against Curacao.
ANALYSIS
Kessie would start a third straight group stage match Thursday as he supported a more defensive role against Curacao. This would lead him to only one shot and a chance created in the attack, not seeing too much action despite the win. He would also add a tackle won in the defense, one of his quieter matches thus far at the World Cup.
