Records five clearances in loss
Veiga registered one tackle (one won), five clearances and one interception in Monday's 1-0 loss against Spain. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 94th minute.
Analysis: Veiga posted a game-high total of clearances while leading his team with 54 passes, though he did little more and was shown a yellow card for a late foul during Monday's game. With his country eliminated from the World Cup, the central man will be unable to further improve on his consistent numbers of 4.6 clearances, 1.6 interceptions and 1.2 blocks per game. Despite not being a regular starter in the qualifiers, he ended up playing all possible minutes during the summer event, featuring as part of a center-back partnership with Ruben Dias.
Two shots from defense
Veiga had two shots (zero on goal) in Thursday's 2-1 win versus Croatia.
Analysis: Veiga would stay on the field for the entire match once again Thursday, as the defender is yet to leave the field for Portugal. He would see a decent day in the defense with one interception and five clearances, bailed out a few times by disallowed goals. He would also add two shots, although both were off target.
