Onana also played in two games at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, scoring a goal in one. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">A 5-2 victory over the United States in the World Cup warm-up match in March.<\/span>.

Throughout this process, we will continue to provide Amadou with our full support.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Onana will remain in the quarter-finals against the Red Devils. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">2010 Champions Spain<\/span> They will play for a spot in the semifinals against either France or Morocco on Friday in Inglewood, California.
