Quiet despite win
Doan recorded one cross and one tackle won in Saturday's 4-0 win over Tunisia.
Analysis: Doan was not all that involved in Saturday's match despite the win, as the attacker would only record a single cross in the attack. That said, he has not been at his best this tournament thus far, only recording three crosses in his 149 minutes of play. He will need to do better as they look to finish out the group stage strong against Sweden.
Decent in draw
Doan recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Netherlands.
Analysis: Doan put in a decent shift for Japan on Saturday before being replaced by Yukinari Sugawara in the 75th minute against the Netherlands. He registered four defensive contributions, two of which were headed clearances, one tackle, and one duel won, while maintaining a 79 percent pass accuracy. His role with Japan is different from his usual position at Frankfurt, operating more as a wingback in the 3‑4‑2‑1 setup. As a result, expect more defensive involvement from him, while still keeping an eye on his ability to make explosive runs up the right side throughout the World Cup.
