Sends three crosses
Hincapie registered three crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Thursday's 2-1 victory versus Germany.
Analysis: Hincapie delivered a strong performance on the same day his permanent move to Arsenal was announced, helping limit Germany to just one goal while winning a duel, making two clearances, and sending in two crosses. The defender started all three group stage matches and proved to be a reliable presence for Ecuador, totaling 19 duels won, six aerials, nine tackles, eight clearances, and one clean sheet, showing how well he fits into the back line.
Signs permanently for Arsenal
Hincapie has joined Arsenal on a permanent basis from Bayer Leverkusen after the club activated their option to make the move permanent from July 1, the club announced.
Analysis: Hincapie made 39 appearances across all competitions during his loan spell, becoming an integral part of Arsenal's Premier League title-winning defense, which has now conceded the fewest goals in the league over the last three seasons. Hincapie scored his only goal in a draw at Wolves in February and won the club's Player of the Month award in both February and April, having previously helped Leverkusen win their first ever unbeaten Bundesliga title in 2023/24 across 166 appearances for the German club. The Ecuador international, who has earned 54 senior caps and is currently representing his country at the World Cup, now commits his long-term future to Arsenal pending the completion of regulatory processes.
