Assists in elimination
Pepe assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Norway.
Analysis: Pepe provided the assist for the lone goal in Tuesday's loss, setting up Amad Diallo for what was, at the time, the equalizer. Pepe was a threat throughout the match and could have had a couple more assists with better finishing from those around him. He also had a role on set-pieces throughout the match. Pepe and co. will be disappointed not to make a deeper run as they crash out in the round of 32.
Bags brace
Pepe scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 2-0 victory over Curacao. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 35th minute.
Analysis: Pepe would be the only goal scorer for the Ivory Coast on Thursday, as the winger found the back of the net in the seventh and 64th minutes for a brace. This gives him not just his first goals of the tournament but also his first goal contribution, starting in two of the three games thus far. As a veteran presence in the attack and holding decent form after the brace, it appears likely he could start in the round of 32.
