Quiet performance Tuesday
Rodriguez had two crosses (zero accurate) and one tackle in Tuesday's 0-0 (4-3) penalty shootout victory over Colombia.
Analysis: Rodriguez fell below his impact from previous games on both ends of the field, but he helped his team to secure its second consecutive clean sheet in a close matchup. He was replaced by Miro Muheim during the second half though, which limited his final output. In any case, the veteran full-back will aim to stay in the starting lineup in the quarterfinals and could have another chance to add to his consistent crossing and tackling numbers.
Impresses from left-back
Rodriguez registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Thursday's 2-0 win over Algeria.
Analysis: Rodriguez registered three crosses, two tackles (two won), one interception and six duels won across his 90 minutes in Thursday's 2-0 win over Algeria, consistently advancing from left-back to support Johan Manzambi's runs in behind and providing the defensive discipline that kept Algeria's right side contained throughout the match. The left-back delivered two corners and won four aerial duels, making him one of Switzerland's most physically active outfield players in a match where his side's collective compactness and directness on the counter proved the difference against a technically superior Algeria side in possession.
