Four crosses in 0-0 draw
Hincapie had two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Curacao.
Analysis: Hincapie helped his team to a defensive clean sheet as his side drew 0-0 with Curacao to pick up their first point in the tournament. The defender also won one of his three tackles, but made five clearances. In total, between the two matches, he has only won two of his eight attempted tackles. In the game, he created two chances, including one completed cross from four attempted crosses.
Difficult task in loss
Hincapie recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Hincapie faced the toughest assignment among the Ecuador defense, getting dribbled past multiple times on the left flank against Yan Diomande of Cote d'Ivoire. Most of the Cote d'Ivoire attacking pressure was directed toward his side, yet he remained close to contributing to a clean sheet before Amad Diallo scored a 90th-minute winner. Going forward, Hincapie showed some upside attempting crosses, though little came from them. His next match against Curacao, who lost 7-1 to Germany in their opener and are the smallest country to ever qualify for the World Cup, presents a significantly more favorable matchup.
