Semenyo registered one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 0-0 draw versus England.
Analysis: Semenyo worked tirelessly across the front line, recording 13 sprints and reaching a top speed of 35.1 km/h. However, he found little joy against England's defence, producing just one successful dribble from three attempts and managing only three completed passes. He spent most of his time in his own half and maintained Ghana's defensive structure.
Sparks stoppage-time winning goal
Semenyo generated two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 win versus Panama.
Analysis: Semenyo was at the heart of Ghana's improved second-half performance, sparking the winning move in stoppage time by releasing Brandon Thomas-Asante down the left, whose low cross was eventually forced over the line by Caleb Yirenkyi for a dramatic 1-0 win over Panama. He helped transform Ghana's attack after a poor first half in which the team failed to register a shot until the 45th minute, with his movement and link-up play key to Ghana's territorial improvement after the break. Semenyo's influence on the winning goal underlines his importance to Ghana's attack as they look to build on this opening win in their next group match against England on June 23.
