Brilliant in rout
Gakpo scored two goals and assisted once from five shots and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 victory versus Sweden.
Analysis: Gakpo was incredible throughout Saturday's win, scoring twice and adding an assist. The winger was at his absolute best in the total domination of Sweden. The winger is in red-hot form and is poised to build off this as Netherlands progress further in the World Cup. Gakpo seems to be back in form after a disappointing club campaign.
Threat without end product
Gakpo registered two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Japan.
Analysis: Gakpo operated as the left-sided forward in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Japan in Dallas, registering two shots (one on target) two crosses and one interception across his 85 minutes before being replaced by Brian Brobbey. The Liverpool forward was a consistent threat in the left channel throughout but was ultimately frustrated by a Japanese defensive block that limited his side to 10 total attempts, with his best moment coming when his first-half shot forced the goalkeeper into a sharp save before the match opened up in the second half.
