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.
Stifled by Uruguay defenders
Al Buraikan recorded one clearance and one block, drew one foul and won six duels in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Uruguay.
Analysis: Al Buraikan struggled to get open and barely received any feed in interesting positions in this one, as Saudi Arabia didn't create much overall despite scoring once. He'll face another strong defense, Spain, in the second group stage match. He posted eight goals and one assist in 51 tilts with Al-Ahli last season.
