During the qualifying phase of the 2018 World Cup, Andre Silva scored 9 goals which was the 12th highest in the world and the 5th highest in Europe. He formed a devastating partnership with Ronaldo who scored 15 goals in the qualifying stage.
At the World Cup, Silva started and completed the game against Iran in addition to making substitute appearances against Spain and Uruguay.
In total, he managed just one shot in 116 minutes he was on the field during the World Cup and didn’t register a goal or assist. He also had an average passing percentage of 76.5.
Silva came into the tournament on the back of a poor season with Milan and that was probably why he only started one game. Still only 22, he can have a big future for Portugal.
