He took a threatening shot with his left foot, and he was also involved in the scene of the opening goal that followed.

When he won the ball through pressure, he cleverly turned his back to the opposing defender, creating a shooting opportunity for his teammate.

An even more perfect assist came in the added time of the second half.

Although he could have finished it himself with the ability to take on two defenders, he selflessly assisted his teammate's insurance goal, marking his first attacking point on the American stage.
