Shukurov logged three clearances across 59 minutes during Uzbekistan's 3-1 loss Saturday to DR Congo.
Analysis: Right before the hour mark, Uzbekistan subbed off Khamadov for Dostonbek Khamdamov to better preserve a lead that was ultimately lost. For most of Uzbekistan's group-stage games, Shukurov did not attempt any shots or crosses. Overall, he logged two and one respectively. Defensively, the central midfielder was much more active, though he did not excel across three appearances. Shukurov recorded five clearances, three tackles (one won) and a block.
Attempts two shots in blowout loss
Shukurov recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to Portugal.
Analysis: Uzbekistan looked overmatched against Portugal from start to finish, but Shukurov was one of the few players who posed a threat from his midfield role. Shukurov has two shots and one chance created in his two World Cup starts, but as a central midfielder, his chance to crack the scoresheet remains fairly low, limiting his overall upside.
