Offensive effort in win
Wirtz recorded two shots (one on goal) and two corners in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Wirtz registered multiple shots and chances created for the second straight time in as many World Cup starts, although he finished without a direct contribution Saturday. He has played all possible minutes, adding plenty of passes from a left-wing role, but he remains with no goals and just one assist throughout the international tournament. He could eventually be at risk of being rested if manager Julian Nagelsmann wants to save his best elements for the knockout stages, which is where they'll need Wirtz's top form.
Records opening assist
Wirtz recorded one assist to go along with three shots and four chances created in Sunday's 7-1 win over Curacao.
Analysis: Wirtz would get the match going quickly for Germany, as he would find Felix Nmecha in the box in the sixth minute, earning an assist on the opening goal. He would continue the solid match with three shots and three more chances created, although to no avail. He will be a major part of the attack moving forward, and this is unlikely to be his only goal contribution in the tournament; he is likely to be a threat every contest.
