Sets up opener
Okon assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Turkey.
Analysis: Okon set up Nestory Irankunda's incredible goal in the 75th minute. Starting as a defensive midfielder, Okon passed with an 81 percent success rate. He also demonstrated exceptional defensive movement in Australia's low block, recording five clearances, three interceptions, three tackles, and two blocks. This match marked Okon's first World Cup appearance. Additionally, he now registered the most defensive contributions by a midfielder in this World Cup so far.
