Six standout stats after 2026 World Cup groups: Spain's control, Ibrahim Maza, Argentina's attack | OneFootball

The group stage is over and the last 32 now awaits. L'Équipe highlights six standout numbers, from Spain's control to Vinicius Jr's edge.

Spain topped Group H and suffocated opponents. In their matches, 78.4% of all final third passes were played by La Roja.

Algeria advanced as the sixth-best third and face Switzerland next. Ibrahim Maza leads for successful dribbles with 13 from 22 attempts, close to a 60% success rate.

Argentina have attempted only six crosses, two per match, the fewest. They sit even behind Curaçao and Saudi Arabia and far from Canada's 75, a profile built around Lionel Messi's gifts.

All three hosts progressed. Mexico cruised through, while Canada and the United States ran relentlessly, holding opponents to just over 73% pass accuracy, with Canada marginally more effective.

Belgium ultimately won Group G after a 5-1 win over New Zealand in the night from Friday to Saturday. They took 73 shots to France's 48, with only Türkiye close on 71, yet only 27% were on target. Kevin De Bruyne fired 16, hit the target four times and scored once, turning 35 on Sunday.

Vinicius Jr has four group-stage goals, as many as Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Erling Haaland. He logged 144 touches, 28 in the box, the most by any player.
