Makes six tackles in loss

Olivera had one cross (zero accurate) and six tackles in Friday's 1-0 loss to Spain.

Analysis: Olivera made the second-most tackles for Uruguay, and what would be his season-high considering his Napoli campaign in 2025-26. The versatile defender also won the second-most duels (seven) during the loss. He finished the World Cup with five chances created, eight tackles and seven clearances in three starts.

Solid individual display

Olivera created three chances, won four duels, won four aerials, and committed one foul in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cape Verde.

Analysis: Olivera produced a solid individual display, winning defensive duels, helping Uruguay maintain possession, and providing stability on the left side of the defense. His work rate and defensive presence were positives, but the collective defensive lapses that led to Cape Verde's two goals prevented what otherwise could have been viewed as a strong outing in a disappointing 2-2 draw. He'll look to close group play strong in a battle against Group H leaders Spain on Friday.
