Creates two chances
O'Reilly recorded one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Panama.
Analysis: O'Reilly went the full 90 minutes on Saturday, completing 47 of his 50 passes while creating two chances and contributing three tackles won along with three clearances. The Manchester City fullback started two of England's three group‑stage matches and showed strong two‑way involvement throughout the round. Across those appearances, he recorded four successful dribbles, four tackles won, 16 duels won, and seven aerials won, an encouraging start to his World Cup campaign and a sign of his growing influence within the squad.
Decent debut shift
O'Reilly recorded two shots (one on target), two chances created and won four duels in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.
Analysis: O'Reilly was given the start at left-back Wednesday and didn't leave the field for England, playing the entire 90. He earned a decent match as he joined the attack on several occasions, notching two shots and two chances created, although a bit was left to be desired in defense. He will look to continue in this role as the tournament moves forward, given some added help due to his flexibility of positioning when on the field.
