Impact Onana had a difficult evening in Monday's 1-1 draw with Egypt, managing just one clearance and one interception in a defensive midfield role where he was unable to impose himself physically against Egypt's pressing and was replaced by Nicolas Raskin in the second half, with the substitute immediately making a stronger impression and raising questions about the starting lineup for Belgium's next fixture against Iran. The midfielder struggled to assert his usual presence in the midfield battle and was bypassed too easily on multiple occasions as Egypt's transitional play exploited the spaces around him, contributing to an Egyptian goal that came through a breakdown in the central defensive structure. Onana will need to rediscover his best form quickly if he is to retain his starting role for the remainder of Belgium's World Cup campaign.
