How good has Daniel Muniz been at Copa America

Colombia are set for a quarter-final on Saturday against Panama in the 2024 Copa America, but thus far Munoz has been excellent.

Playing all three games to date, Munoz has been on the scoresheet twice for his country in the tournament to date.

This has seen him awarded an average match rating of 7.82, a number which places him firmly among the top performers in the entire competition.

The WhoScored rankings have Munoz as sixth highest in the tournament, which showcases just how good he has been and makes the fact Dougie Freedman found the Colombian for just £6.8m is a testament to his quality.

Glasner will also be delighted with how Munoz is doing at Copa America as he’ll be expecting his right wing-back to return to Selhurst Park in top form.

Daniel Munoz stats at Copa America

As he did for Palace to end the season, Munoz has been incredible for the Colombians through the tournament so far and his stats tell that story.

From his stats from the tournament according to FotMob, Munoz clearly has been immense in all areas with his defensive play equally as good as his offensive play.

Stat per Number Percentile
Goals 2 100th
Successful Passes 108 85th
Chances Created 2 55th
Crossing Accuracy 50 per cent 82nd
Successful Dribbles 1 32nd
Tackles Won 12 92nd
Duels Won 26 82nd
Interceptions 4 70th
Recoveries 14 75th
Fouls Committed 11 100th

If Glasner is watching the Copa America this summer he’ll have been impressed with these performances and stats and will be looking for Munoz to play a greater role on the right to lessen to impact of losing Michael Olise.
