Records assist
Ateya recorded one assist on one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Argentina.
Analysis: Ateya was able to help Egypt reach a goal Tuesday, as the midfielder would find Yasser Ibrahim in the 15th minute for a goal. This would give Ateya his lone goal contribution of the tournament in his five appearances (four starts). He would also add four shots, 11 crosses and 16 clearances from his midfield role.
Active pushing forward
Ateya registered three shots (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-1 (5-3) penalty shootout victory against Australia.
Analysis: Ateya stepped into the XI due to the absence of Mohanad Lasheen, but with the latter expected back in the side, Ateya should return to his regular role in midfield. He made a case for more playing time, however, as he led the team in total shots and was a dominant presence in the middle of the park.
