Ends World Cup without shot
Al Buraikan registered one tackle (zero won) in Friday's 0-0 draw versus Cape Verde. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.
Analysis: Al Buraikan would not record a shot for a third match in a row Friday, ending his tournament without a shot despite three straight starts at forward. This is a brutal showing from the forward, with two chances created really being all he contributed in 239 minutes of play.
Struggles in loss
Al Buraikan generated one clearance and one interception in Sunday's 4-0 loss versus Spain.
Analysis: Al Buraikan struggled yet again at striker, failing to register a single shot before being taken off in the 60th minute for Mohammed Abu Al Shamat. In 149 minutes at this tournament he has not recorded a shot, has just 55 touches and a 64 percent pass accuracy. That output makes him a very ineffective attacking option for Saudi Arabia.
