Nathan-Dylan Saliba

Saliba had three tackles (one won) and three interceptions in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus South Africa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 54th minute.

Analysis: Saliba would earn the start again Sunday as he fills in for Ismael Kone after a broken leg, playing 59 minutes against South Africa. He would see most of his work in the defense, notching three interceptions and three tackles. He would also earn a yellow card, needing to be careful as they enter the round of 16.
