Assists second consecutive match
Enciso assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and four chances created in Friday's 1-0 win against Turkey.
Analysis: Enciso delivered a well-timed layoff to Matias Galarza to set up the opening goal in the second minute of the match. The assist gives Enciso two in the tournament, making him a standout creative force in the Paraguay attack. His creativity has been the highlight of an offense that has relied on clinical finishing over volume, with one goal proving enough to secure three points. Paraguay enter their next match against Australia as favorites, presenting another opportunity for Enciso to build on his strong start to the tournament.
Assists in loss to USA
Encisio took two shots (off target), created one big chance, and assisted on Paraguay's lone goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States. He also suffered four fouls during the match.
Analysis: Enciso worked hard and attempted to carry Paraguay's attack, but he was largely neutralized by a dominant U.S. performance. Returning from a recent injury scare and facing constant defensive attention, he was unable to produce the game-changing moments Paraguay needed. While not one of his most influential international performances, his willingness to demand the ball and drive forward remained one of the few bright spots for Paraguay in an otherwise difficult 4-1 defeat.
