Two assists in win
Dumfries assisted twice to go with four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-1 victory against Sweden.
Analysis: Dumfries provided a pair of assists during Saturday's win. The right-back was excellent throughout the match and really made his mark early, setting up the first goal as he put the pressure on Sweden. Dumfries should remain a big contributor as the unquestioned top choice at right-back for The Netherlands.
Three crosses from right side
Dumfries recorded three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Japan.
Analysis: Dumfries was the Netherlands' most active wide defensive presence in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Japan, delivering three crosses from the right flank (one accurate) and covering significant ground in both directions as a right-back required to defend against Japan's pace in behind while providing width and delivery in the attacking phase. The right-back was beaten by Yukinari Sugawara's pace on a couple of occasions in the second half when Japan pushed for an equalizer, contributing to the anxiety that preceded Daichi Kamada's stoppage-time header, but created two dangerous situations from deep with his crossing before the final product let him down. His energy, directness and ability to stretch opposition defensive lines from the right side remain a key attacking weapon for the Netherlands, and improving his cross accuracy will be central to unlocking deeper defensive blocks in the rounds ahead.
