Malik Tillman

Assist in World Cup debut

Tillman recorded one assist on three chances created to go along with five shots in Friday's match against Paraguay.

Analysis: Tillman would step into his World Cup debut with no hesitations, as the midfielder recorded an assist on Folarin Balogun's stoppage-time goal to end the first half. However, Tillman was better than just that, also adding five shots and two chances created, nearly netting a goal before bottling the shot. He seems to have earned himself a starting role moving forward in the tournament, although he will need some rest after a physical match.
