Struggles in elimination
Elia registered one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat against England.
Analysis: Elia put a single shot on goal and sent in a pair of crosses during Wednesday's loss to England. The forward was largely shut out throughout the match and didn't get much done. England's defense and midfield shut down Elia throughout the match and held him to a very limited role. Elia and co. are set to depart the World Cup after a disappointing defeat in the first knockout round.
Crucial in two goals to qualify
Elia assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Uzbekistan.
Analysis: Elia was heavily involved in the second and third goals as DR Congo beat Uzbekistan 3-1 when he came on as a sub for 18 minutes. This was his first World Cup appearance, creating three chances and taking one shot. He assisted the final goal, which sealed qualification for the round of 32, and it was his only shot in the game that fell to Fiston Mayele, who flicked the ball over the keeper.
