Makes two tackles in loss

Valverde recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 defeat to Spain.

Analysis: Valverde had a quiet and disappointing outing in Uruguay's defeat that led to an early elimination, making two tackles as his best statline before subbing off in the 57th minute. That was the first time in three games he did not play the full 90. The Real Madrid midfielder finished the World Cup with no goals or assists, plus 10 shots and 11 crosses.

Game high seven shots in draw

Valverde took seven shots (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cape Verde.

Analysis: Valverde was Uruguay's driving force in midfield and one of the standout performers in a frustrating 2-2 draw against Cape Verde. The captain dictated the tempo and covered plenty of ground on both sides of the ball, firing off a game-high seven shots in the process. If Uruguay is to move on to the knockout phase, they'll need a big performance out of Valverde against Spain on Friday.
