Picks up helper in Canada clash
Embolo assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created and drew four fouls in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Canada.
Analysis: Embolo was again slippery and hard to contain, missed a sitter in the early going, but redeemed himself by setting up the second goal for his side, outsmarting and outmuscling a pair of defenders in space and generously feeding the trailing Johan Manzambi for his second assist on the trot. He hit the net in the opener. He has registered at least one shot, accumulating seven (three on target), and one key pass, piling up eight, in all three World Cup appearances.
Assists after slow start
Embolo assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Thursday's 4-1 win versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Analysis: Embolo had a quiet first half as Tarik Muharemovic marked him heavily and forced him to drop deep to receive the ball, with his most dangerous moment coming from a header off a corner. When he finally broke free and had a one on one chance, Muharemovic brought him down and was shown a red card. From that point the forward had a much freer game, making the most of the extra space by assisting the second goal scored by Ruben Vargas, and could have added a goal of his own had he got on the end of a cross from the same player.
