Defensive effort in win
Kounde recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Paraguay.
Analysis: Kounde failed to impress in offensive duties, but he took part in some defensive actions and recorded a 95 percent accuracy from 59 pass attempts against Paraguay. The versatile man has featured at right-back throughout the World Cup, totaling eight crosses (zero accurate), 13 tackles and 14 clearances over five starts. He has also played in three games where his side secured a clean sheet, though he didn't go the full 90 minutes in two of those appearances. In any case, Kounde should remain heavily involved on the flank for the remainder of the competition.
Impactful against Sweden
Kounde registered one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Sweden.
Analysis: Kounde generated a big chance along with several defensive contributions before being replaced by Malo Gusto in the 75th minute of the win. The Barcelona man operated in his regular right-back role and found plenty of opportunities to push forward, but it was not enough for him to open his scoring or assisting counts in the 2026 World Cup. Despite failing to play 90 minutes in three consecutive matches, he's a strong two-way option heading into the decisive stages, with his next test coming in a favorable clash with Paraguay.
