Doesn't leave the field at World Cup
Elvedi generated one tackle (one won) and 11 clearances in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Argentina.
Analysis: Elvedi would have another solid shift for Switzerland as their World Cup ended, playing the full 120 as he didn't leave the field this tournament. He would notch one tackle won and 11 clearances in the defense Saturday, although it was not enough to stop Argentina after the Swiss had to play a man down. He ends his World Cup campaign earning two clean sheets while notching four tackles, five interceptions and 48 clearances.
Stands out in shootout win
Elvedi recorded eight clearances and three interceptions in Tuesday's 0-0 (4-3) penalty shootout victory over Colombia.
Analysis: Elvedi was quite impressive in defensive duties Tuesday, leading his side with eight clearances, and surpassing two interceptions and one block for the first time in the current World Cup. He remains an essential piece of his country's back line, earning significant playing time and helping limit the opposition's scoring output. However, he might face his toughest test so far in the upcoming quarter-finals meeting with Argentina.
