Jakhongir Urozov

Starts, log seven clearances

Urozov logged seven clearances during Uzbekistan's 3-1 loss Saturday to DR Congo.

Analysis: Urozov is a 22-year-old prospect that Uzbekistan brought in for depth. For the World Cup's earlier games, he logged fewer than 15 minutes, his lone appearance a surprise opportunity June 18 against Colombia. But after back-to-back losses for Uzebkistan's team, he was promoted to its starting XI. Playing against an active Congo, all three members of the Uzbeks' defensive line recorded more than six clearances.
