This was a higher-event group than most we've seen so far, but without Portugal's 7-0 drubbing of North Korea, the overall shooting percentage would have been the lowest of the seven completed groups:
| Passes/G | Weighted | Avg | Shots/G | Goals/G | Shot% | |
| Group G | 383 | 82.76 | 21.6 | 13.08 | 1.42 | 10.83 |
| Overall | 353 | 75.65 | 21.4 | 10.97 | 1.07 | 9.71 |
Brazil was very dominant in terms of possession and passing – second-place Portugal, not-so-much:
| Passes | For | Weighted | Vs | Weighted | % of Pass |
| Brazil | 1599 | 343.3 | 723 | 140.8 | 68.9 |
| Portugal | 1091 | 220.5 | 1207 | 263.9 | 47.5 |
| Ivory Coast | 1159 | 273.1 | 1089 | 208.1 | 51.6 |
| North Korea | 746 | 156.2 | 1576 | 380.3 | 32.1 |
North Korea is the only team in the tournament to get outshot by more than a 2-1 margin overall. They had the double misfortune of not being very good, and drawing two top teams in their group:
| Shots F | Goals | Sh% | Shots A | Goals | Sh% | |
| Brazil | 43 | 5 | 11.63 | 28 | 2 | 7.14 |
| Portugal | 43 | 7 | 16.28 | 34 | 0 | 0.00 |
| Ivory Coast | 39 | 4 | 10.26 | 25 | 3 | 12.00 |
| North Korea | 32 | 1 | 3.13 | 70 | 12 | 17.14 |
