Nets opener
Cipenga scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against England.
Analysis: Cipenga opened the scoring inside 10 minutes during Wednesday's loss. His goal looked like it would be decisive for a large portion of the match, but it just wasn't to be. The winger was brilliant for his goal, but was shut down throughout the rest of the match and failed to really get anything going throughout the second half.
Seven crosses in 3-1 win
Cipenga recorded three shots (zero on goal) and seven crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Uzbekistan.
Analysis: Cipenga helped the DR Congo to a famous 3-1 win over Uzbekistan, which allowed them to progress to the knockout stages of the World Cup. The winger had been on the bench for the first two games of the tournament, but came into his first World Cup match with three shots and seven crosses. He also won both of his tackles during the game.
