Provides assist in Germany clash

Galarza assisted once to go with three clearances, four tackles (two won) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout win versus Germany.

Analysis: Galarza mostly contributed defensively, filling the stat sheet in that respect, but he was also key on the equalizer, picking out Julio Enciso in the middle of the box with an accurate feed from the wing after shaking free. He has notched at least one cross, amassing four (one accurate), and three or more tackles, totaling 15 (10 won), in the last three matches, scoring once and adding two key passes, four interceptions and four clearances over that span.
