Fires two shots in Senegal fixture
Nusa registered two shots (zero on goal), one interception and one clearance and created one scoring chance in Monday's 3-2 victory over Senegal.
Analysis: Nusa notched his first attempts and key pass in the competition, but he didn't have any crosses after uncorcking three versus Iran. He has yet to be properly unleashed in the World Cup, and he had to work hard to contain Krepin Diatta on the wing in this one, limiting his offensive output. He was replaced by Andreas Schjelderup in the final portion of the game like in the opener.
Dangerous runner from wide areas
Antonio Nusa recorded three crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Tuesday's 4-1 victory against Iraq.
Analysis: Nusa was kept without a shot or chance created over the course of the game, largely a consequence of being stationed very wide, but he was a constant threat whenever he received possession, relying on his dribbling to try to find a way past Iraq's compact defensive block. He managed two successful dribbles and was fouled twice for his efforts, finishing with three crosses and one tackle defensively.
