Starts Friday
Vanaken registered one interception in Friday's 2-1 defeat to Spain.
Analysis: Vanaken was handed the start after Youri Tielemans was a late scratch due to injury, with the midfielder playing until the 60th minute. His day would see minimal action, recording an interception, a block and 12 passes completed. He would only earn three starts in his six appearances this World Cup, but still made a mark in his 318 minutes of play, notching one goal and two assists.
Scores and assists against USA
Vanaken scored one goal and assisted once from one shot (one target) and one chance created in Monday's 4-1 victory against USA.
Analysis: Vanaken came in early since Amadou Onana injured his knee in the first half and contributed to two goals by taking advantage of blunders by the opponents. He slotted it home in the empty net from distance after Matt Freese turned the ball over and stripped a defender in the box near the end of the tilt, quickly feeding Romelu Lukaku ahead of the final goal. He had started in the previous two fixtures. He has notched two assists, five goals and eight key passes in the last four bouts.
