Comes off bench again
Undav recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Thursday's 2-1 defeat against Ecuador.
Analysis: Undav was once again introduced to the match from the bench despite some talk of him earning a start, as the attacker would play 30 minutes. He would see a shot and a few chances created, but was unable to make it a remarkable third game in a row from the bench with a goal contribution. Either way, he remains a storyline of the group stages, earning one goal and two assists in the first match and two goals in their second contest.
Scores brace off bench in win
Undav scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Undav led his team's late comeback by taking advantage of a couple of opportunities inside the box in the 68th and 86th minutes, respectively, of this match. After replacing Jamal Musiala for the final half hour of play, Undav added another attempt on target from long range. He's now among the top attacking contributors in the 2026 World Cup thanks to his three goals and two assists in just 56 minutes, so he'll push for increased outings at the expense of either Musiala or Leroy Sane.
