Creates two chances in win Olmo created two chances from two crosses and put two-of-two shots on target during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Germany.

Scores, assists in win Olmo scored one goal from four shots (two on goal) and logged one assist from one chance created during Wednesday's 7-0 win over Costa Rica.

Impact Olmo is an early-tournament favorite to start on the wing for manager Luis Enrique and he paid off that trust with a fine performance. What's even more impressive is that he only just returned to the lineup for his club in November after returning from a knee injury, so this is his third start in his last four games for club and country after spending two months in recovery. If he can continue to be a source for goals in a lineup that has yet to put its trust in Alvaro Morata, then this could be another explosion from many in Olmo's growing talents.

Impact Olmo returned after seven weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury and finished out the final moments of the contest.

When he was fit, Olmo logged two assists in five starts to open the season and he should make an excellent partner for Christopher Nkunku upon his return.
