Struggles before HT sub
Alan Franco recorded one cross (zero accurate) and two clearances in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Mexico. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 46th minute.
Analysis: Franco continued to start at right back rather than his natural midfield position but had a tough outing, losing both duels he faced and picking up a yellow card from a foul before being substituted by the more attacking minded Angel Preciado. It was also the first game of the tournament where he ended without a tackle or interception to his name. He finishes the tournament with eight tackles, four interceptions, one block and 12 clearances across four starts.
Makes four tackles
Franco recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and four tackles in Thursday's 2-1 win against Germany. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 50th minute.
Analysis: Franco played a key role in holding Germany to just one goal Thursday, finishing the match with four tackles, four clearances, and four duels won during Ecuador's important 2-1 victory. With three consecutive starts, the defender has been highly reliable on the right side, posting an impressive 95 percent pass accuracy while winning eight tackles and producing 10 clearances, making him a strong candidate to remain a fixture in the lineup heading into the knockout round.
