John Yeboah
Creative in win
Yeboah registered three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 2-1 victory versus Germany.
Analysis: Yeboah played a major role in the 2-1 win over Germany, creating three chances while winning four duels and completing passes at an 82 percent accuracy rate. Across the group stage, the midfielder has produced six shots, seven chances created, five accurate crosses, and eight recoveries, remaining heavily involved in Ecuador's buildup play. Although he has yet to appear on the scoresheet, a rare occurrence given his 10 goals and nine assists in 31 appearances for Venezia this season, his overall impact has still been significant.
Eight crosses in 0-0 draw
Yeboah had three shots (two on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Curacao.
Analysis: Yeaboah continue his run of three shots in each World Cup game so far this year for Ecuador. His stats mostly impressed from a crossing and creative perspective. The winger attempted eight crosses, including two corners. Of those eight, he completed four crosses, and this led to four chances created. The Venezia winger was also denied twice by Eloy Room, who had a record-breaking game in goal. These two shots on target out of three were his firtst shots on target of the tournament.
Nearly scores in loss
Yeboah had three shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Yeboah nearly produced a standout moment, hitting the crossbar from outside the box in what was one of Ecuador's best chances of the match. He showed an eye for goal, with his shots all coming from a similar position on the right side of the box. Operating from the right midfield position, Yeboah could have contributed more in a creative sense, though he still posed a consistent threat that suggests upside going forward. If he starts against Curacao, who conceded seven goals to Germany in their opener, he will have a favorable opportunity to make an impact on the attacking end.
