Records three crosses
Neto recorded three crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Colombia.
Analysis: Neto registered three crosses, one chance created and one tackle across his 90 minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Colombia, operating as the most direct wide threat in Portugal's attack and consistently attempting to deliver into the area against a Colombian left side that defended intelligently throughout. The Chelsea winger was Portugal's most active crosser but his delivery lacked the accuracy to create genuine danger against a backline that dealt with every aerial threat comfortably. His pace and directness from the right will be a key weapon against Croatia in the round of 32, where space on the counter-attack could allow him to express himself far more effectively.
Provides early assist in opener
Neto assisted once to go with four crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against DR Congo.
Analysis: Neto assisted Joao Neves' early opener in Portugal's 1-1 World Cup draw with DR Congo, delivering a sharp cross from the left that allowed the midfielder to head Portugal in front after just five minutes. He remained active in the first half and drew a yellow card from Chancel Mbemba in the 31st minute, but Portugal's attack lost bite as the match turned into a grind after DR Congo's equalizer. Neto ended the game with one chance created, four crosses (two accurate) and one tackle and seems to have an edge over Rafael Leao to start on the left wing.
