Works hard in Belgium contest
Stamenic registered one cross (zero accurate), three blocks and four clearances and was yellow-carded in Friday's 5-1 defeat against Belgium.
Analysis: Stamenic was one of the New Zealand players who performed the best in a very rough game overall, but his hustle in the midfield wasn't enough to contain the high-powered adversaries. He has tallied multiple clearances, totaling nine, and at least one block, piling up six, in all three tilts, adding three shots (zero on target), three chances created and two tackles (one won).
Creates three chances vs Egypt
Stamenic recorded two shots (zero on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 3-1 defeat against Egypt.
Analysis: Stamenic created three chances in Sunday's loss to Egypt, leading the Kiwis from a creative standpoint despite playing in defensive midfield. His best came in the 52nd minute when his cross found Callum McCowatt's head, but Mostafa Shobeir came up with an excellent save. Stamenic also took two shots on the attack, though neither were particularly threatening. He was not as strong with his defensive duties as Egypt dominated the second half, scoring three goals and stealing the victory. Next up is the final group stage match versus Belgium on Friday, a must-win match for New Zealand in order to advance to the knockouts.
