Sends in five crosses vs Spain
Maxi Araujo had five crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 1-0 loss to Spain.
Analysis: Araujo led Uruguay in crosses as usual, but couldn't find the back of the net to avoid the loss and the disappointing early elimination. The forward also won the most duels (eight) among all players in the field. He finished the World Cup with two goals, one assist, four shots, 10 chances created and 18 crosses in three starts.
Extends strong momentum
Araujo scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and three chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Cape Verde.
Analysis: Araujo delivered a solid performance in the second World Cup game, as he scored through a diving header in the 44th minute and created the chance for Agustin Canobbio to double Uruguay's count during first-half stoppage time. Although his team remains without a victory, the Sporting CP player has had an excellent start to the tournament, tallying two goals and one assist across two appearances. Additionally, he has taken corner kicks from both flanks, gaining even more value in the absence of Giorgian De Arrascaeta (calf). Such run of form makes Araujo one of the most interesting players of the Uruguayan squad ahead of their toughest group-stage challenge versus Spain.
