Seven crosses in draw

Sanabria sent in seven crosses (zero accurate) and created one chance in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cape Verde.

Analysis: Operating on the left wing, Sanabria was one of Uruguay's most active defenders. He frequently pushed high up the pitch to support attacks, offering width and delivering crosses into the penalty area. With a spot in the knockout phase up for grabs, expect Sanabria to be active against Spain in the group decider on Friday.
