Can somebody explain the logic behind playing irankunda up front instead of his natural position on the wing?

This is just my opinion, but besides the Turkey game, in which Irankunda obviously performed excellently, he didn’t do a single memorable thing, defenders had him in their pocket, he struggled with aerial balls and always was late to meeting the ball when crossed into the box from Bos or Volpato. So after Popa and the coaching staff saw him have no impact in both the US and Paraguay game, why would they not revert back to the original template that worked so well in the only game we scored in?
