Subbed off at halftime against Croatia
Owusu recorded one cross (zero accurate), one block and one tackle (one won) and committed two fouls in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Croatia.
Analysis: Owusu got the call for the second time in the competition after not featuring versus England, but he had a silent display in the midfield and was replaced at the interval after a few errant passes and rough fouls. Abdul Fatawu outplayed him off the bench following a tactical switch, while he took Caleb Yirenkyi's place in this one, who was at risk of getting suspended. Owusu has logged three crosses (zero accurate), four tackles (two won) and one clearance in two outings.
Two crosses in WC opener
Owusu recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Panama.
Analysis: Owusu started in Ghana's three-man midfield in Wednesday's opener, joining Caleb Yerenkyi and Kamaldeen Sulemana. His contributions were easy to miss as he did not contribute much on either end of the pitch, rather simply acting as a traditional central midfielder versus Panama. He still helped keep a clean sheet during his time on the pitch as he won three duels, two tackles and made one clearance before he was replaced by Kwasi Sibo in the 78th minute. He will likely have more defensive responsibilities Tuesday versus England, a side that will try to dominate possession and pepper the Ghana goal with shots.
