Solid defensively
Tagliafico had one interception in Saturday's 3-1 win against Switzerland.
Analysis: Tagliafico registered one block, one interception and seven duel wins across his 78 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 extra-time win over Switzerland before being replaced by Nicolas Gonzalez, contributing defensively against Switzerland's right channel and winning the physical battles against Switzerland's wide threats throughout a match where every defensive contribution was essential as his side absorbed the Swiss pressure following Breel Embolo's red card. The left-back came through 78 demanding minutes without any recurrence of his calf issue, giving manager Lionel Scaloni a fully available squad heading into the England semi-final.
Provides attacking threat
Tagliafico recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory versus Egypt.
Analysis: Tagliafico registered one chance created and one interception across his 66 minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Egypt, winning the penalty in the first half after Haissem Hassan brought him down inside the area before being replaced by Nicolas Gonzalez as coach Lionel Scaloni made changes to try to turn the game around with his side 0-2 down. The left-back's ability to get in behind Egypt's defensive line and win dangerous situations in the area underlines his value as both an attacking and defensive presence in Scaloni's system.
