Gaol called back, scores anyways
Ziko recorded one goal on one shot to go along with a chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Argentina.
Analysis: Ziko would see a major moment taken away from him in Tuesday's loss, as the forward would score in the 58th minute, but the goal was waved off for a prior foul. However, he would make up for it just a few minutes later, as he would find the back of the net in the 67th minute, with this goal counting. This gives the forward his second goal of the World Cup. He ended the tournament with five straight starts, earning two goals and one assist in his time on the field.
Poor showing vs. Socceroos
Ziko registered two tackles (two won) in Friday's 1-1 (5-3) penalty shootout win over Australia.
Analysis: Ziko had shown decent displays in previous matches, but he looked overmatched by Australia's physical approach and was subbed off midway through the second half. Given the uptick in competition and the presence of Trezeguet as an option off the bench, Ziko doesn't have a secure place in the XI for the Round of 16 clash against Argentina on Tuesday.
