Salih Özcan

Dominant defensive midfield display

Ozcan registered two crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Thursday's 3-2 victory against USA.

Analysis: With Turkey's tournament already over, coach Vincenzo Montella handed Ozcan his first start and the midfielder seized the opportunity. He was outstanding defensively, covering every base with three tackles, one block and one clearance while leading the entire game in interceptions with five in what was a highly impressive defensive showing.
