Gets two shots off
Monteiro generated two shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Friday's 0-0 draw versus Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Monteiro logged 71 minutes in the 0-0 draw against Saudi Arabia on Friday, contributing steadily even in a match where chances were limited. He created one chance, registered a shot on target, and completed four passes into the final third. His attacking impact has been muted across the three group‑stage fixtures, an understandable outcome given the strength of the opponents Capo Verde faced. This quieter offensive stretch leaves him with a challenging path ahead, especially with the defending World Cup champions Argentina awaiting on July 3.
Records most tackles
Monteiro registered three tackles (three won), two clearances and two interceptions in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Spain.
Analysis: Monteiro played 79 minutes in Cape Verde's scoreless draw against Spain, contributing seven defensive actions, including a team-high three tackles and two interceptions while completing 76 percent of his passes. Although deployed in an advanced midfield role, he spent much of the match dropping into deeper positions to support the team's compact defensive shape. He accumulated five goal contributions for PEC Zwolle last campaign and was unable to showcase his creativity given Cape Verde's compact shape.
