Scores twice to book RO32 spot
Wissa scored two goals to go with six shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan.
Analysis: Wissa scored two of DR Congo's three goals as they booked a place in the round of 32 with a 3-1 win over Uzbekistan. He also scored the goal against Portugal, meaning that he has scored three of his nation's four goals in the historic group stage. He won the penalty that he was then able to score himself. This was one of the three fouls that he drew. The two goals were from his two shots on target from his six shots in the game and he has scored all of his shots on target in the tournament.
Isolated in attack
Wissa registered one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Colombia.
Analysis: Wissa registered one shot and one chance created across his 90 minutes in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Colombia, operating as the central striker in DR Congo's attack against a Colombian backline that largely kept him quiet throughout a match where his side generated very few clear-cut opportunities despite a disciplined and compact defensive display for 75 minutes. The forward won four duels as his side's primary outlet in attack, but was starved of service by a Colombia midfield that controlled the tempo and denied DR Congo any meaningful possession in the final third. His ability to hold the ball up and create space for teammates gives DR Congo an important attacking reference point heading into the must-win finale against Uzbekistan, where he will need far more support from midfield if his side are to produce the result needed to stay alive in Group K.
