Bruno Guimaraes Shines with 0.32 xA in Brazil's 2-1 Win

Bruno Guimaraes delivered a stellar performance for Brazil in their 2-1 victory over Japan on Monday. The Newcastle United midfielder created four chances and had a 0.32 xA.

The 28-year-old played a fabulous ball to Gabriel Martinelli in added time, which allowed him to score the winner. This assist was one of the passes of the tournament so far.
