John Yeboah
Finds the target against Frosinone
Yeboah (undisclosed) scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), two tackles (two won) and one chance created in 45 minutes in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus Frosinone.
Analysis: Yeboah was managed because of an ailment, but he was deployed at the interval with his team needing to come back and looked fine, netting his first goal of the year with a fine curled shot. He has tallied multiple attempts and at least one key pass in three straight displays, amassing nine (four on target) and five, respectively. Additionally, this was his third consecutive contest with one or more tackles, for a total of five (four won).
Not entirely fit for Frosinone game
Yeboah has been selected for Sunday's clash versus Frosinone despite not training Saturday, Tuttomercatoweb reported.
Analysis: Yeboah made the cut despite dealing with an ailment and will be re-evaluated on game day to see if he can start as usual. Otherwise, Albion Rrahmani and Toni Fernandez would pick up the slack. He has posted five shots (two on target), four chances created and two crosses (zero accurate) through two rounds.
Pretty lively in Milan bout
Yeboah had three shots (one on goal), one tackle (one won) and two chances created and drew one foul in Friday's 2-0 defeat versus AC Milan.
Analysis: Yeboah tried to lead the charge offensively as usual, co-pacing his team in shots along with Akor Adams, but with mixed results, albeit he put up solid numbers in the final third for the second consecutive week. He has notched multiple shots and chances created in the first two fixtures, racking up five (two on target) and four, respectively.
Creates two chances in Venezia tilt
Yeboah had two shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created and won one of two tackles in Sunday's 2-0 loss versus Lecce.
Analysis: Yeboah handled the ball a lot in the final third and put together a pretty good stat line, but he didn't always make the right decision in the thick of it. He was Venezia's offensive leader last season in Serie B and recorded 10 goals and 10 assists in 34 matches, and his prominence hasn't changed after the promotion.
Hits post in final outing
Yeboah had two shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Mexico.
Analysis: Yeboah was the best player on the pitch for Ecuador and his dribbling was a handful throughout, winning seven of eight duels he faced. He was at the heart of Ecuador's closest moments to scoring, with two dangerous shots that deserved more as one hit the post and the other drew a strong save from Mexico goalkeeper Raul Rangel. He ends the tournament as one of Ecuador's standout performers despite his luck never quite turning, finishing without a goal contribution but with eight shots and seven chances created across four games to his name.
Creative in win
Yeboah registered three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 2-1 victory versus Germany.
Analysis: Yeboah played a major role in the 2-1 win over Germany, creating three chances while winning four duels and completing passes at an 82 percent accuracy rate. Across the group stage, the midfielder has produced six shots, seven chances created, five accurate crosses, and eight recoveries, remaining heavily involved in Ecuador's buildup play. Although he has yet to appear on the scoresheet, a rare occurrence given his 10 goals and nine assists in 31 appearances for Venezia this season, his overall impact has still been significant.
Eight crosses in 0-0 draw
Yeboah had three shots (two on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Curacao.
Analysis: Yeaboah continue his run of three shots in each World Cup game so far this year for Ecuador. His stats mostly impressed from a crossing and creative perspective. The winger attempted eight crosses, including two corners. Of those eight, he completed four crosses, and this led to four chances created. The Venezia winger was also denied twice by Eloy Room, who had a record-breaking game in goal. These two shots on target out of three were his firtst shots on target of the tournament.
Nearly scores in loss
Yeboah had three shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Yeboah nearly produced a standout moment, hitting the crossbar from outside the box in what was one of Ecuador's best chances of the match. He showed an eye for goal, with his shots all coming from a similar position on the right side of the box. Operating from the right midfield position, Yeboah could have contributed more in a creative sense, though he still posed a consistent threat that suggests upside going forward. If he starts against Curacao, who conceded seven goals to Germany in their opener, he will have a favorable opportunity to make an impact on the attacking end.
