Makes two shots
Appollis had two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Canada.
Analysis: Appollis closed out Sunday's match with two shots, three crosses, and a created chance to end to his 2026 World Cup campaign. Across the tournament, he started three of South Africa's four matches in an attacking midfield role, contributing consistent pressure with two total shots, eight duels won, four tackles made, and three successful dribbles, offering steady involvement even as the team's run came to an early finish in the Round of 32.
Contributes from left flank
Appollis had one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 1-0 win against South Korea.
Analysis: Appollis registered one shot (on target), two crosses and two corners across his 62 minutes as the left attacking midfielder in Wednesday's 1-0 win over South Korea before being replaced by Tshepang Moremi, whose immediate impact produced the assist for the winning goal and suggested the substitution was one of the defining tactical moments of South Africa's historic victory. The winger completed 20 passes during his time on the pitch, providing consistent width and delivery from the left side against a South Korean team that controlled possession but struggled to contain South Africa's direct approach in transition. His pace and directness from the left flank give South Africa a useful wide option heading into the knockout stage.
