Fires two shots in Uruguay game
Kanno had two shots (one on goal), two interceptions and five clearances and won one tackle in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Uruguay.
Analysis: Kanno took care of the dirty work in the midfield, filling the stat sheet in that regard, but also paced his side in attempts alongside Abdulelah Al-Amri, as Saudi Arabia didn't generate a lot of offense in this one. He's set to be a fixture of the midfield and a two-way contributor for the rest of the tournament. He put up five goals and six assists in 44 tilts with Al-Hilal in 2025/2026.
Veteran midfielder at World Cup
Kanno is set to be a crucial starter in the midfield for Saudi Arabia at the 2026 World Cup.
Analysis: Kanno is heading to the World Cup with Saudi Arabia as one of the few for sure starters for the squad, as he will serve as their engine in the midfield. His solid box-to-box presence will give the team a decent boost in the middle as they try to make a surprise World Cup run, not only an anchor in the defense but also able to turn it up and push forward. He did earn 1 goal contribution in the Saudi Pro League, so he does hold the quality to make a game-changing play. However, he could find it rough sailing against Spain and Uruguay, needing to capitalize on his chances against Cape Verde.
