Best World Cup Goals: The Top 50 Goals Of The Tournament So Far

World Cup ends against France Isak logged two shots (one on goal) during Sweden's 3-0 loss to France on Tuesday.

Impact In terms of shots on goal for the World Cup, Isak was consistent, logging either one or two each game. Unfortunately for him, competing against a top France was an insurmountable challenge that abruptly ends his WC campaign. Even though Isak logged only one goal, the striker averaged a 1.00 G/A using chance creations. With seven created, he logged three assists, boosting some of his relatively proven teammates like Anthony Elanga, Mattias Svanberg and Viktor Gyokeres. France game aside, Isak's updated form is decently high; so ideally for the forward's club Liverpool, he will be in better shape a season after his record signing.

All 215 World Cup Group Stage Goals, Ranked From Best To Worst

Decoy for Sweden's goal Isak generated two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Japan.

Impact Isak played 90 minutes in the final World Cup group stage game, and this was the first game that he failed to have a goal involvement despite having two shots on target. The striker was used as a decoy for Anthony Elanga to find the far corner of the goal. His strike for the far corner looked as if it could have been headed into the goal, and therefore the keeper couldn't react, and therefore Elanga found the corner. He has created seven chances across the three group stage games, creating three assists and he scored his only goal in the opening game.

Sets up lone goal Isak assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 5-1 defeat against Netherlands.

Impact Isak provided the assist for Sweden's only goal of the match as they were entirely outplayed. Isak was actually reasonably productive whenever he got on the ball, but he was just limited as Sweden's midfield was totally dismantled. Isak is up to two goal contributions in two matches in the group stage.

Runs rampant in Tunisia fixture Isak scored one goal and assisted twice from three shots (two on target) and two chances created in Sunday's 5-1 win versus Tunisia.

Impact Isak was on fire in the opener and played a part in three of the five goals, doubling his team's lead in the first half with an accurate shot from an angled position, which was poorly deflected by Abdelmouhib Chamakh, ending up in the bottom corner. He teed up Viktor Gyokeres after stripping an opponent near the box and assisted Mattias Svanberg with a subtle touch on a set piece in the second half. He was the runner-up in attempts on his side. He's off to a great start in the World Cup after a disappointing and injury-ravaged season at Liverpool, during which he posted just three goals and one assist in 23 appearances (12 starts).

Expected to start on left wing Isak has been named in Sweden's World Cup squad and is expected to start on the left wing under coach Jon Dahl Tomasson, arriving at the tournament after a difficult first season a...

Impact Isak managed just three goals and one assist across 21 appearances in all competitions this season, a frustrating return for a player of his quality, but a stunning goal against Norway in the World Cup warm-up suggests he is hitting form at exactly the right time. His pace, technical ability and composure in front of goal make him one of the more dangerous wide attackers at the tournament when fit, and his ability to cut inside from the left and combine with Viktor Gyokeres in the final third gives Sweden a genuinely unpredictable attacking partnership. The World Cup represents the ideal stage for the 26-year-old to rediscover the form that made him one of Europe's most sought-after forwards, and a fully fit Isak is one of the more exciting attacking options available to manager Jon Dahl Tomasson this summer.

Bench option Isak (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Brentford.

Impact Isak is back in the team Sunday despite his doubtful tag, as the forward earns a spot working from the bench. He hopes to see some time on the field to end his rough first campaign with the team, only available for 14 games (eight starts) while recording three goals and one assist.

Impact Isak had been ruled out of Friday's defeat against Aston Villa with a minor issue, but his partial involvement in training is an encouraging development heading into the final fixture of the season. The Swedish striker's situation has been carefully managed throughout the campaign given the cumulative toll of missing pre-season and subsequently breaking his leg, and the club will assess how he responds before making a final call on his involvement against Brentford. Getting him some minutes before the season ends would also be beneficial heading into the World Cup with Sweden this summer.

Impact Isak had been ruled out of Friday's 4-2 defeat against Aston Villa with a minor issue, with Cody Gakpo continuing in the number nine role in his absence. The Swedish striker's situation has been complicated throughout the season by a lack of pre-season preparation and the subsequent leg fracture. Isak has a chance to play the final game of the Reds' season, although the focus for him now is to be fully fit for the World Cup with Sweden.

Not in squad Friday Isak is not in the squad for Friday's game against Aston Villa due to a minor injury, Ian Doyle of Liverpool Echo reports.

Impact While Isak is dealing with a minor issue, it was enough to sideline him from this contest. The striker is expected to be fit and available for the season finale against Brentford on Sunday, May 24.
