Limited impact in World Cup final
Montiel had one tackle (one won), two clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Spain.
Analysis: Montiel moved into the starting XI and recorded 58 minutes of play, sharing playing time with Nahuel Molina as they did throughout the international tournament. Overall, it was a quiet World Cup campaign for Montiel, who struggled to produce consistently while finishing with one assist over 189 minutes on the pitch.
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.
