Best chance thwarted
Gyokeres logged an on-target shot and a chance created during Sweden's 3-0 loss to France on Tuesday.
Analysis: Competing against a greatly talented France resulted in limited opportunities for Gyokeres and Sweden. Nonetheless, he logged the Swedes' best goal-scoring chance Tuesday. Almost right in front of goal, Gyokeres attempted a good shot that required an excellent save by France's goalkeeper Mike Maignan. As a result, for the World Cup, Gyokeres' total G/A has worsened from 1.00 even to 0.75 across four appearances. With both 12 shots (six on goal) and nine chances created, he recorded one goal and two assists, the latest of which ensured tournament-advancing progression.
Assists crucial goal for Sweden
Gyokeres assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Japan. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.
Analysis: Gyokeres assisted Anthony Elanga for Sweden's only goal of the 1-1 draw with Japan, which should see them progress to the round of 32 as the best third-placed team. Gyokeres scored one and provided two assists across the three group games. In total, he has created eight chances in the three games, and despite only having one shot in this game, had five shots in each of the first two games of the group stage. The assist came in a link-up with Elanga, who played a curled ball into the far corner of the net, which caught the keeper off guard as the ball could have been headed in by Alexander Isak.
