Four interceptions in win
Castagne recorded one shot (zero on goal) and five crosses (zero accurate) in Friday's 5-1 win over New Zealand.
Analysis: Castagne logged another full 90 minutes at right-back in Friday's 5-1 win over New Zealand, helping Belgium control the match from the opening whistle as the Red Devils piled up 35 shots. He delivered a well-rounded performance on both ends of the pitch, providing defensive stability while consistently pushing forward down the right flank. New Zealand managed just one shot before halftime, while Castagne finished with five crosses, one tackle, four interceptions and four clearances. He and Belgium wrapped up Group G atop the standings and now head into the Round of 32 with plenty of momentum.
Four tackles in draw
Castagne had three crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Egypt. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 14th minute.
Analysis: Castagne worked tirelessly as Belgium's left-back in Monday's 1-1 draw with Egypt, delivering three crosses (one accurate) and winning four tackles in what was one of his more defensively active individual performances, though his yellow card for serious foul play in the first half complicated his ability to engage as aggressively in duels during the remainder of the match. The Fulham full-back was committed and physical throughout his 56 minutes and was one of the few Belgian outfield players to contribute consistently in both defensive and attacking phases, but his side's collective inability to convert their 15 shots into more than one goal left him on the wrong side of a result that puts pressure on Belgium's campaign heading into the Iran fixture. His delivery from the left side and ability to support Jeremy Doku's runs infield remain important attacking weapons that Belgium will look to exploit more effectively in their next group game.
