Tomás Araújo

Two clearances in draw

Araujo generated two clearancesand one interception in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against DR Congo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 92nd minute.

Analysis: Araujo was shown a yellow card in stoppage time of Portugal's 1-1 World Cup draw with DR Congo after holding Yoane Wissa during a counter-attack. His late caution summed up a tense finish for Portugal, who pushed for a winner while remaining vulnerable to DR Congo's counters. Araujo will need to stay cleaner in those transition moments as Portugal move into their next group match. The Benfiquista contributed two clearances and one interception during his shift and will likely find back his bench role for Portugal if Ruben Dias (undisclosed) is deemed fit for the second clash of the group.
