Ends World Cup with weak outing
Sanchez registered one cross (zero accurate) and four tackles in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus England. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 71st minute.
Analysis: Sanchez was outperformed in a difficult test while facing Anthony Gordon on the opponents' left flank, committing two fouls and lacking defensive output other than his two tackles won during a 79-minute performance. The right-back made four consecutive starts after staying on the bench in the World Cup opener, and he did a good job overall, tallying various tackles and crosses when given the opportunity. In terms of direct contributions, he notched one assist over that period.
Defensive effort in victory
Sanchez generated three tackles (one won), four clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 2-0 win versus Ecuador.
Analysis: Sanchez was unable to get a goal contribution this time after assisting in his previous outing, but he produced a variety of stats in his third start on the right side of a four-man defense. Although there has been a competition between him and Israel Reyes for the starting role, the PAOK man ultimately got the nod for the decisive stages and could continue to be favored in future contests. In that case, Sanchez may focus on tackling and defensive duels while pushing forward a few times per game.
