Nine clearances, four interceptions
Ashurmatov logged nine clearances and four interceptions during Uzbekistan's 3-1 loss Saturday to DR Congo.
Analysis: Once again, Uzbekistan's defense was busy, as is expected for a relatively unproven team. For the World Cup, nine clearances indicate Ashurmatov's tournament-high. So do his four clearances, and he doubled the tally every game. Overall, Ashurmatov logged 23 clearances, seven interceptions, two tackles won and one block. Unfortunately for him, the Uzbeks losing all their group-stage games means his WC is over.
Eight clearances vs. Portugal
Ashurmatov registered two tackles (two won), eight clearances and two interceptions in Tuesday's 5-0 defeat against Portugal.
Analysis: Ashurmatov was busy throughout the entire match, but despite the 5-0 loss,at least he was busy defensively and racked up stats. Still, it's hard to trust any of the Uzbekistan defenders in fantasy since they've allowed eight goals in two matches. Ashurmatov looked completely recovered from the calf issue that forced him to depart the opener against Colombia, and he should be healthy enough to feature in the group-stage finale against DR Congo on Saturday.
