Quiet performance in draw
Meunier generated three crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Iran.
Analysis: Meunier had a subdued outing in Sunday's goalless draw with Iran, contributing three crosses (none accurate), one interception and two tackles in a match where Belgium's right side was significantly less threatening than the left channel where Maxim De Cuyper consistently created danger. His reliability and defensive experience remain valuable assets heading into the upcoming fixture, but a stronger attacking contribution down the right side will be needed if Belgium are to find the width and variety required to break down New Zealand's defense.
Limited impact from right-back
Meunier had one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Egypt.
Analysis: Meunier had a difficult evening as Belgium's right-back in Monday's 1-1 draw with Egypt, registering one shot on target, one accurate cross and one tackle in a match where his side struggled to combine effectively down the right side and his forward runs rarely created the danger his team needed to break down a compact Egyptian defensive block. His ability to contribute in both directions will need to be more consistent in the remainder of Belgium's group stage campaign, with the right flank a key area for improvement heading into the Iran fixture.
