Sultan Mandash

Records eight tackles

Mandash recorded eight tackles (three won) and one clearance in Friday's 0-0 draw against Cape Verde.

Analysis: Mandash would earn the start Friday in his first minutes of the 2026 World Cup, playing 66 minutes on the right flank. He would see almost no work in the attack but was decent in the defense, notching eight tackles and one clearance during the clean sheet. He would've hoped for more time at the tournament, at least earning some minutes to end instead of going unused.
