The Hearts of Oak shot-stopper earned a rating of 7.61, placing him among the tournament's elite goalkeepers. Asare had climbed as high as fifth before Portugal's Diogo Costa – ranked fourth with 7.73 – produced a standout performance against Colombia to edge ahead.

Asare has been one of Ghana's standout performers at the tournament, producing crucial saves in the Black Stars' group-stage matches. He kept a clean sheet in Ghana's 1-0 victory over Panama and made key stops against England and Croatia.

Ghana will need Asare at his best when they face Colombia in the round of 32 on July 3.
