Scores in loss to Brazil
Sano scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 2-1 defeat to Brazil. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 12th minute.
Analysis: Sano broke the deadlock for Japan midway through the first half with a shot from outside the box that sneaked past Alisson's reach. However, the defensive midfielder looked overmatched by the creativity of the Brazilian playmakers in the second half. Sano, primarily a holding midfielder, finished the World Cup with one goal, one assist, four interceptions, three tackles and two clearances in three starts.
Assist Saturday
Sano recorded one assist on a chance created and one cross in Saturday's 4-0 win over Tunisia.
Analysis: Sano would once again play the full 90 for Japan as they defeated Tunisia, his second straight game playing the full 90. However, he would walk away with an assist this time, finding Ayase Ueda in the 83rd minute for the final goal of the match. He would also complete 71 passes, third-best on the team Saturday.
