Creative effort in loss
Bacuna registered two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 2-0 loss against Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Bacuna was one of Curacao's more involved players throughout the match, contributing on both ends of the pitch with two shots and creating two chances from his midfield role while also completing eight passes into the final third. As captain, he led by example in what was a difficult 2-0 defeat, though his efforts were not enough to keep Curacao alive in their debut World Cup campaign.
Two shots and four clearances
Bacuna generated two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Ecuador. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 39th minute and recorded four clearances.
Analysis: Bacuna operated in a more defensive midfield role, but he still managed to make an impact while helping Curacao keep a clean sheet. Through two starts in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Bacuna has four shots (one on target), two chances created, three crosses, four tackles and seven clearances.
Mixed output in loss
Bacuna recorded two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 7-1 defeat against Germany.
Analysis: Bacuna led his team with 49 accurate passes and four tackles during their first match of the 2026 World Cup, adding to a decent offensive display despite the tough opposition. However, the midfielder failed make a decisive impact and committed an error that led to a goal during the game. He's still one of the squad's veteran leaders and a functional asset who could be expected to remain active in defensive or midfield duties.
