Earns one chance created
Semedo recorded no stats in Thursday's 2-1 win versus Croatia.
Analysis: Semedo was on the field after a quadruple substitution from Portugal, playing 27 minutes as they gritted out the win. He would draw one foul, record a chance created and completed four passes in his time on the field, covering the right flank of the defense. He still has yet to start a match and likely won't this tournament, although he has appeared off the bench three times.
Provides assist off bench
Semedo generated one cross (zero accurate) and one clearance in Tuesday's 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan.
Analysis: Semedo entered for Joao Cancelo at halftime and picked up an assist on Rafael Leao's 87th-minute goal, driving a low ball into the box that the substitute forward hammered home with a powerful right-footed finish to cap off the 5-0 blowout. He brought energy, width and a steady attacking presence down the right flank throughout the second half, helping Portugal keep the pressure on. Semedo and Portugal now sit on four points in Group K heading into a decisive final group-stage showdown with Colombia.
