Delivers 10 crosses in victory
Kimmich had 10 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Kimmich stayed active despite failing to get involved in a goal this time, as his corner-kick responsibilities allowed him to record double digits in crosses and increase his total to 14 (five accurate) in two starts. The versatile man has operated at right-back throughout the competition, and he's likely to retain playmaking value in that position, though he could see his playing time managed in the third group-stage match against Ecuador given that Germany already secured qualification for the next round.
Credited with two assists
Kimmich recorded two assists on five chances created to go along with four crosses in Sunday's 4-1 win over Curacao.
Analysis: Kimmich had a great opening World Cup match as he found himself with a pair of assists, first finding Jamal Musiala in the 47th minute before another assist on Deniz Undav's 78th-minute goal. Despite the defensive role, he seemed to be more involved in the attack in a match they mainly controlled, recording four crosses to go along with five chances created. His two-way play as a defender is second to none, and his involvement on set pieces gives him immense value.
