Starts, takes two shots in loss
Budimir recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Portugal.
Analysis: Budimir took the second-most shots for Croatia, but couldn't help them avoid the frustrating loss. The forward logged his second start and third appearance in World Cup play, but was subbed off during halftime. He finished it with one goal in three shots and 156 total minutes.
Non existent Saturday
Budimir recorded four accurate passes in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Ghana.
Analysis: Budimir struggled to make an impact on Saturday, failing to register a shot and managing only nine touches in 66 minutes against Ghana. He earned the start after scoring off the bench versus Panama, but he was unable to build on that momentum and offered little threat for Croatia in this match. With such a quiet performance, Petar Musa is the more likely option to return to the starting lineup for Thursday's Round of 32 clash with Portugal, where Croatia will need more presence and productivity up front.
