Limited impact in PK loss

Irankunda generated two shots (zero on goal) and two chances created in Friday's 1-1 (5-3) penalty shootout loss to Egypt.

Analysis: Irankunda grabbed headlines after scoring one of the goals in the win over Turkiye in the World Cup opener, but his impact was limited the rest of the way. He couldn't do much against Egypt's defensive line, and the Watford striker finished the 2026 World Cup with one goal, six shots (two on target) and three chances created.

Lively but lacked cutting edge

Irankunda had two shots (zero on goal) in Thursday's 0-0 draw against Paraguay.

Analysis: Irankunda came back into the starting eleven up front after being surprisingly left out of the last game and was combative throughout, winning five of his eight duels. He was a danger when space appeared and got two shots off during the game, one from a tight angle where he could have looked for a better option, and one from range as he tried to make his mark on the match.
