Provides two assists in win
Olise assisted twice to go with three shots (zero on goal) and three chances created in Monday's 3-0 win versus Iraq.
Analysis: Olise delivered a one-touch pass to Kylian Mbappe before threading a nice ball towards Ousmane Dembele, creating the chances for two out of three French goals in the 14th and 66th minutes, respectively, of Monday's clash. The assists boosted Olise's total to three in two appearances, placing him among the tournament leaders in that category. Unless he's rested in the third match of the group stage, he'll remain a quality attacking asset throughout the World Cup.
Provides assist in victory
Olise assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Tuesday's 3-1 victory against Senegal.
Analysis: Olise set up Kylian Mbappe's 66th minute opener with a defense-splitting pass after a difficult first half that mirrored the struggles of most of his teammates, though he nearly broke through himself before the hour mark only to be denied by Edouard Mendy in the 53rd minute. Shifted into the No. 10 role, Olise grabbed the keys to France's attack and emerged as the squad's primary creative force, racking up four chances created against the Lions de la Teranga. He was the driving force behind France's second-half resurgence, consistently finding space between the lines and picking out Mbappe with dangerous service as Les Bleus took control, and his turnaround after the break proved decisive in the win while setting the standard for the rest of the tournament.
