Makes nine clearances
Ibrahim had one tackle (one won) and nine clearances in Friday's 1-1 (5-3) penalty shootout win versus Australia. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 120th minute.
Analysis: Ibrahim was busy at the back, facing a physical Australian attacking line, but he led the team in clearances and posted a strong overall showing. Ibrahim has started in three of Egypt's four matches and has tallied at least seven clearances in his past three contests. He should remain in the XI for the Round of 16 clash against Argentina on Tuesday.
Strong showing after early call
Yasser Ibrahim registered four tackles (three won) and seven clearances in Friday's 1-1 draw versus Iran. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 42nd minute.
Analysis: Yasser was initially given a rest but was called into action after just 14 minutes when Mohamed Abdelmoneim picked up an injury, and his introduction brought immediate solidity to the backline. He was exceptional defensively, contributing four tackles, seven clearances and two blocks including a crucial stop in the final action of the game. Having now played all three group stage games he has accumulated six tackles, two interceptions and 18 clearances across those appearances and is expected to be in the starting XI for the first knockout game against Australia.
