Records assist
Sangare assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Thursday's 2-0 win versus Curacao.
Analysis: Sangare would step up from his defensive midfielder role for an assist Thursday, finding Nicolas Pepe in the 64th minute for the final goal of the match. This is the midfielder's first goal contribution of the tournament, having only recorded one chance created and zero shots thus far. However, he would clean up in the defense as they earned a clean sheet, notching two interceptions, three tackles and three clearances.
Gritty showing in Germany tilt
Sangare had one block, one clearance and two interceptions and won four of seven tackles in Saturday's 2-1 defeat versus Germany.
Analysis: Sangare was a major physical presence in the midfield upon entering the XI after logging just 13 minutes in the opener and played a part in Ivory Coast's respectable showing against one of the contenders, despite the loss. He and Christ Inaou Oulai outplayed Seko Fofana, who had started versus Ecuador, as the coach shored up the midfield. Sangare had tallied just one clearance and drawn one foul in the previous game.
