Quiet outing Thursday
Ueda registered one shot (zero on goal) in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Sweden.
Analysis: Ueda would cool down after a brace and an assist against Tunisia in their last match, as the forward would only see a single shot and no goal contributions in his 66 minutes against Sweden. That said, he has now struggled against both of the stronger teams in their group, not a good sign for the knockout. There is a chance they will give Daizen Maeda a more advanced role next match to try to switch things up, although it is likely Ueda will remain the starting forward.
Scores twice, adds assist
Ueda scored two goals and assisted once from five shots and two chances created in Sunday's 4-0 victory against Tunisia.
Analysis: Ueda delivered a complete centre-forward performance in Japan's 4-0 win over Tunisia, scoring twice and providing one assist across 84 minutes as the focal point of Japan's attack in a dominant display that confirmed his side's place in the knockout rounds. The Feyenoord striker registered five shots and created two chances, combining clinical finishing with intelligent hold-up play and precise distribution in behind the Tunisian defensive line, underlining why he was the top scorer in the Eredivisie this season. Ueda now has two goals and one assist across two group games and heads into the decisive Group F clash against Sweden as Japan's most dangerous attacking weapon, with his aerial presence, movement off the ball and finishing quality in both feet making him one of the most complete strikers remaining in the tournament.
