Isolated in attack
Wissa registered one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Colombia.
Analysis: Wissa registered one shot and one chance created across his 90 minutes in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Colombia, operating as the central striker in DR Congo's attack against a Colombian backline that largely kept him quiet throughout a match where his side generated very few clear-cut opportunities despite a disciplined and compact defensive display for 75 minutes. The forward won four duels as his side's primary outlet in attack, but was starved of service by a Colombia midfield that controlled the tempo and denied DR Congo any meaningful possession in the final third. His ability to hold the ball up and create space for teammates gives DR Congo an important attacking reference point heading into the must-win finale against Uzbekistan, where he will need far more support from midfield if his side are to produce the result needed to stay alive in Group K.
Nets equalizer
Wissa scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Portugal.
Analysis: Wissa scored the equalizer during Wednesday's draw, a heroic goal that split the points in the World Cup opener. Wissa could have had another goal, but was unable to put his shot on target. He's going to be a key part of the attack through the rest of the World Cup, with most of Congo's attacking moves flowing through him.
