Solid individual display
Olivera created three chances, won four duels, won four aerials, and committed one foul in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cape Verde.
Analysis: Olivera produced a solid individual display, winning defensive duels, helping Uruguay maintain possession, and providing stability on the left side of the defense. His work rate and defensive presence were positives, but the collective defensive lapses that led to Cape Verde's two goals prevented what otherwise could have been viewed as a strong outing in a disappointing 2-2 draw. He'll look to close group play strong in a battle against Group H leaders Spain on Friday.
Loaded stat line
Olivera registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia. He also added five clearances and six aerials won.
Analysis: Olivera was nearly unbeatable defensively, leading the team in aerials won and co-leading the team in clearances alongside Sebastian Caceres. Olivera can play both as a center-back and left-back, and he's a lock to remain in the XI in either role when Uruguay take on Cape Verde on Sunday. If he plays at left-back, he could have more fantasy upside, though.
