Makes three interceptions in loss
Galarza had two tackles (two won), two clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to France.
Analysis: Galarza was primarily occupied with stopping the opposition's advances, conceding three fouls as his country's World Cup run came to an end. Prior to this game, the River Plate winger enjoyed more freedom to attack, ranking second on the team in terms of goal contributions with one goal and one assist. Overall, it was a satisfactory World Cup debut for him, showing decent potential for future international activity.
Provides assist in Germany clash
Galarza assisted once to go with three clearances, four tackles (two won) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 (5-4) penalty shootout win versus Germany.
Analysis: Galarza mostly contributed defensively, filling the stat sheet in that respect, but he was also key on the equalizer, picking out Julio Enciso in the middle of the box with an accurate feed from the wing after shaking free. He has notched at least one cross, amassing four (one accurate), and three or more tackles, totaling 15 (10 won), in the last three matches, scoring once and adding two key passes, four interceptions and four clearances over that span.
