Earns assist
Diomande assisted once to go with three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Thursday's 2-0 win over Curacao.
Analysis: Diomande would start the third group stage match for the Ivory Coast, not having started in all three games for the nation. He would finally earn his first goal contribution of the tournament as well, finding Nicolas Pepe in the seventh minute for the opener. The assist comes as a well-deserved goal contribution for the young attacker, now with three shots, seven crosses and 10 chances created in his World Cup campaign.
Fills stat sheet in win
Diomande generated two shots (zero on target), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Ecuador. He also added five chances created, five tackles, two interceptions and 11 duels won.
Analysis: Even though Amad Diallo scored the game-winning goal for Ivory Coast, there's no question that Diomande was the best player on the field for the Elephants. Diomande should be one of the busiest players for Ivory Coast in the match against Germany on Saturday, where his pace -- and familiarity due to him playing in the Bundesliga -- could be a game-changer for the African side.
