Makes thee crosses
Gueye recorded two shots (zero on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat against Belgium.
Analysis: Gueye struggled to make an impact in Wednesday's must‑win match, managing only a single shot on target, one duel won, and six passes into the final third before being substituted in the 66th minute. Even so, he leaves the tournament with a commendable overall contribution, scoring twice and adding an assist across four appearances, starting every match while maintaining an 87 percent pass accuracy, giving Senegal a reliable midfield presence throughout their World Cup campaign.
Scores twice off bench in win
Gueye scored two goals and assisted once from six shots and three chances created in Friday's 5-0 victory against Iraq. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 81st minute.
Analysis: Senegal needed to score lots of goals to improve their goal differential and boost their chances of qualifying as one of the best third-placed teams, and they did exactly that. Gueye was impressive off the bench after entering the game in the 58th minute and participated directly in three goals, including scoring twice with two long-range, unstoppable shots. If Senegal makes it into the Round of 32, Gueye could very well move back into the starting lineup after this impressive display.
