Scores own goal in loss
Bobadilla scored an own goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States. He was subbed off at halftime.
Analysis: Bobadilla had a rough start in the World Cup opener, giving the United States a dream start when he inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the seventh minute. The Sao Paulo midfielder was unable to make the positive impact he typically provides in possession and transition, and he was replaced at halftime. He'll try to right the ship against Turkiye on Friday, June 19.
Finds starting XI
Bobadilla (knee) is in the starting XI for Friday's match against the USA.
Analysis: Bobadilla is fit for Friday as many expected, as the midfielder resides in the starting XI holding down the middle of the pitch. He will be tasked with controlling the game along with Andres Cubas, likely to have their hands full against the USMNT and Turkiye in the group stage. This will mark his World Cup debut as he earns a 22nd cap with the national team.
