Makes three tackles vs Colombia

Luckassen registered three tackles (one won) and two clearances in Friday's 1-0 defeat against Colombia.

Analysis: Luckassen delivered a good defensive showing in the 1-0 loss to Colombia, making three important tackles and adding two clearances, however it was not enough to see Ghana go through the next round. After taking over Jonas Adjetey's spot in the starting XI, he featured in Ghana's final two matches, scoring against Croatia and finishing his World Cup with three tackles, three clearances, and 11 duels won across 180 minutes of play.

Scores versus Croatia

Luckassen scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target), one clearance and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Croatia.

Analysis: Luckassen made his first start in the World Cup amid some rotation and hit the net with a relatively header on a long free kick. He got the call over Jerome Opoku, who was one yellow card away from disqualification. He was on point in the back but didn't pick up many stats. It remains to be determined whether he'll have further opportunities going forward.
