Scores in penalty shootout
Amiri recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout defeat against Paraguay.
Analysis: Amiri entered the field for the final 10 minutes of extra time Monday, featuring for only the second time all tournament. He would see an important moment in the penalty shootout, as he stepped up as their fifth penalty shooter to keep them alive, and successfully did so before their eventual loss. The midfielder only played 40 minutes all tournament, notching one assist on a chance created to go along with two shots and two crosses.
Assists as substitute Saturday
Amiri assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Cote D'ivoire.
Analysis: Amiri made an immediate impact as he took Aleksandar Pavlovic's place in the 60th minute and delivered a ball into the box that led to the equalizer in the 68th of the game. The Mainz midfielder has been limited to a backup role so far, but the assist could boost his chances of competing for a starting spot in future clashes. In that case, he can hold all-around potential if his team continues to dominate against weaker opposition, although he lacks a solid fantasy floor as he's not an undisputed starter and rarely takes set pieces at the international level.
