Fails to impress in spot start
Velupillay had two tackles (one won) in Friday's 2-0 loss to USA.
Analysis: Velupillay was a surprising addition to the starting lineup in place of Nestory Irankunda, but the winger failed to make an impact and didn't return for the second half. Don't expect Velupillay to be in the XI for the group-stage finale in a must-win match versus Paraguay on Thursday, June 25.
