Assists in defeat
Niakhate assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat against Belgium.
Analysis: Niakhate assisted Senegal's opening goal with a sensational log cross to Habib Diarra and went on to play the entire match plus extra time, creating two chances, making four clearances, and winning an aerial duel during Wednesday's heartbreaking loss. He was one of Senegal's most reliable contributors throughout the World Cup, featuring in every minute of every match while maintaining a 91 percent pass accuracy, winning 15 duels, blocking five shots, and adding two tackles won, underscoring his consistency and importance across the tournament.
Minimal work in easy win
Niakhate recorded one shot off target and one clearance in Friday's 5-0 win versus Iraq.
Analysis: Niakhate didn't have much defensive work to do in a game where Iraq barely posed a threat in the attacking third. That figures to change if Senegal advance to the knockout stages, though. Through three World Cup starts, Niakhate has tallied nine clearances, four blocked shots, two tackles and two interceptions.
