Mostly quiet versus Spain
Seiwald generated one shot (zero on goal), one clearance and one cross (zero accurate) in Thursday's 3-0 defeat against Spain.
Analysis: Seiwald didn't have a great showing and was replaced at halftime, subbing off early for the first time in the competition after struggling to contain, in particular, Pedri in the midfield. He tallied at least one tackle, amassing 10 (five won), and one clearance, piling up six, in all four World Cup matches, registering also two shots (zero on target), three crosses (one accurate) and four interceptions.
Takes two shots vs. Algeria
Seiwald recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Algeria.
Analysis: Seiwald was deployed in a holding midfield role, but he ended up leading the team in shots and constantly pushed the lines forward. The RB Leipzig midfielder should remain a starter in the Round of 32 versus Spain, but he shouldn't carry a ton of upside since he's expected to deploy in a more defensive stance.
