Single shot Tuesday

Kessie registered one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat versus Norway.

Analysis: Kessie took a single shot during Tuesday's defeat, as well as taking a lone corner. The midfielder was unable to really put his mark on the match throughout, and was sent packing as Norway proved too hard to break down. Kessie was solid at times, but couldn't really make the difference in a disappointing round-of-32 defeat.

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.
