Very productive versus Germany
Mauricio had eight crosses (two accurate), two chances created and four corners and won one of two tackles in 63 minutes in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout victory versus Germany.
Analysis: Mauricio didn't start but came in relatively early and was one of the main offensive engines for his side, leading it in both deliveries and corner kicks, putting together his most effective display yet. He has yet to start in the competition. He has posted two tackles in every match so far, winning five of them, scoring once and taking three shots (all on target) during that stretch.
Two shots in draw
Mauricio recorded two shots (two on goal) in Thursday's 0-0 draw against Australia.
Analysis: Mauricio entered at halftime for Alexandro Maidana as coach Gustavo Alfaro looked to inject more creativity without the suspended Miguel Almiron, with Paraguay needing a win to leapfrog Australia in the group standings. After scoring Paraguay's lone goal in the opening loss to the United States, he couldn't unlock a disciplined Australian back line, though he still finished with two shots (two on target) and two tackles won. Paraguay must now sweat it out and hope their four points and inferior goal difference are enough to squeeze into the knockout rounds as one of the tournament's best third-placed teams.
