Commits costly foul in victory
Hernandez registered two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 4-1 victory versus Norway.
Analysis: Hernandez contributed two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created across his 90 minutes in Friday's 4-1 win over Norway, but was also directly responsible for the penalty that gave Norway a chance to get back into the match in the second half when he lazily tripped Oscar Bobb in the area, earning a yellow card in a moment that briefly complicated France's comfortable afternoon before Mike Maignan saved Jorgen Strand Larsen's weak spot-kick.
Two tackles in win
Hernandez registered one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Senegal.
Analysis: Hernandez delivered steady defensive support and attacking width from left-back over the full 90 minutes, finishing with two tackles, one shot, one interception and two clearances while helping France take control after a shaky opening stretch in which Senegal generated the better looks. He combined well with France's attacking unit as the side found its rhythm and took over the match following the break. Hernandez will remain a key piece moving forward, providing the two-way presence France relies on to stay balanced at both ends of the pitch as the group stage rolls on.
