Provides attacking threat
Tagliafico recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory versus Egypt.
Analysis: Tagliafico registered one chance created and one interception across his 66 minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Egypt, winning the penalty in the first half after Haissem Hassan brought him down inside the area before being replaced by Nicolas Gonzalez as coach Lionel Scaloni made changes to try to turn the game around with his side 0-2 down. The left-back's ability to get in behind Egypt's defensive line and win dangerous situations in the area underlines his value as both an attacking and defensive presence in Scaloni's system.
Three tackles from bench
Tagliafico recorded three tackles (one won) and three clearances in Friday's 3-2 win against Cape Verde.
Analysis: Tagliafico would enter from the bench Friday as he played 34 minutes on the left flank of defense following an injury to Facundo Medina (leg). The defender would earn three tackles (one won) and three clearances, seeing plenty of work in extra time as Cape Verde looked for an equalizer on two different occasions. With Medina potentially injured for the next match, Tagliafico may need to serve a bigger role in the round of 16.
