Defensive effort in knockout defeat
Ajer registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against England. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 117th minute.
Analysis: Ajer led his squad with five clearances during an otherwise disappointing end to his World Cup campaign. The central defender stood out as a regular starter, resting only when the entire lineup was rotated in the third group-stage match. In addition to his consistent numbers of 51.6 accurate passes per game, his aerial strength allowed him to rack up at least five clearances in each of his five matches played.
Active in win over Brazil
Ajer recorded one tackle (one won), five clearances and one interception in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Brazil.
Analysis: Ajer was heavily involved in passing play, helping his side dominate possession against tough opposition in the second knockout round of the 2026 World Cup. While the five clearances were his lowest count in his four matches played so far, he remains the team's leader with an average of 8.0 clearances per contest. He'll aim to contribute through his usual passes and defensive stats in future clashes.
