Makes two tackles in loss

Valverde recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 defeat to Spain.

Analysis: Valverde had a quiet and disappointing outing in Uruguay's defeat that led to an early elimination, making two tackles as his best statline before subbing off in the 57th minute. That was the first time in three games he did not play the full 90. The Real Madrid midfielder finished the World Cup with no goals or assists, plus 10 shots and 11 crosses.
