Subpar showing in loss
Doan had two tackles (zero won) and three clearances in Monday's 2-1 defeat versus Brazil.
Analysis: Doan was expected to be an attacking threat on the right flank for Japan, but considering he had to deal with the threat of Vinicius Junior, it's not surprising to see him operating in a more defensive stance. Even though Doan fits best as a winger, he's capable of covering the entire flank. In four World Cup starts, the Frankfurt winger notched one assist, seven clearances, four tackles, one chance created and five crosses.
Assist during draw
Doan assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Sweden.
Analysis: Doan would earn the assist on Japan's lone goal Thursday, finding Daizen Maeda in the 56th minute for the opener. This does give Doan his first goal contribution of the tournament, coming after one shot and a chance created. That said, after a slow start to play, he will hope this is the boost he needed, not recording a single shot or chance created in their opening two games.
