Delivers assist as substitute
Montiel assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Egypt.
Analysis: Montiel came off the bench in the second half to replace Nahuel Molina and registered one assist and one chance created across his 17 minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Egypt, contributing to the late pressure that produced the winning goal and giving manager Lionel Scaloni an experienced option to call upon from the right side of the defensive and attacking structure as Argentina chased the game in the closing stages. The right-back's versatility and experience in high-pressure moments make him a reliable squad contributor as the world champions head into the quarterfinals against Switzerland.
16 minutes from bench
Montiel generated one shot (zero on goal) in Friday's 3-2 victory against Cape Verde. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 115th minute.
Analysis: Montiel would feature for Argentina on Friday in the later stages of the match, not entering until the 104th minute. He would see little to do, earning one shot and three completed passes, only having to defend the final few minutes as Cape Verde looked for an equalizer. He has not started since the opener, but following the injury to Facundo Medina (leg), there is a chance he used a bit more in the round of 16 against Egpyt and Medina cannot play.
