Finds the target versus Belgium

Just scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two tackles (one won) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 5-1 defeat versus Belgium.

Analysis: Just was the only bright spot for his side, led it in attempts, and, after getting denied a couple of times, he managed to punch one through with a nice effort from the edge of the box, netting his third goal in the competition. He has tallied multiple shots, amassing seven (five on target), and at least one tackle, totaling six (three won), in all three World Cup appearances, adding one chance created, two crosses (zero accurate) and two interceptions over that span.

Two shots versus Egypt

Just generated two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Egypt.

Analysis: After scoring a brilliant brace in the opener versus Iran, Just came back down to earth in Sunday's loss. He fired off two shots within the first 20 minutes of the match but was unable to produce anything of note after that. Due to Egypt chasing the game following an early deficit, Just was forced into a more defensive role where he won four duels, one tackle and made one clearance. Despite his side conceded three second half goals. He was subbed off in the 85th minute for Francis de Vries. Just will need to be at his best for the final group stage match Friday versus Belgium where his country needs a win in order to advance to the knockouts.
