Gritty showing in Germany tilt

Sangare had one block, one clearance and two interceptions and won four of seven tackles in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Germany.

Analysis: Sangare was a major physical presence in the midfield upon entering the XI after logging just 13 minutes in the opener and played a part in Ivory Coast's respectable showing against one of the contenders, despite the loss. He and Christ Inaou Oulai outplayed Seko Fofana, who had started versus Ecuador, as the coach shored up the midfield. Sangare had tallied just one clearance and drawn one foul in the previous game.
