Wins three tackles Tuesday
Arias generated one shot (zero on goal), four tackles (three won) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 0-0 (4-3) penalty shootout loss to Switzerland.
Analysis: Arias failed to start a scoring streak after producing one goal in the initial playoff round against Ghana, but he remained helpful in defensive and dribbling duties versus Switzerland. He ended up with one goal while taking nine shots (four on target) and making 14 tackles (nine won) throughout five World Cup starts. Additionally, he delivered a few corner kicks at the beginning of the tournament, before ceding those responsibilities to James Rodriguez and Juan Quintero.
Finds back of net
Arias recorded one goal on one shot to go along with a chance created and two tackles in Friday's match against Ghana.
Analysis: Arias would find the net early for Colombia as they captured a lead over Ghana, scoring in the 14th minute on his only shot before exiting in the 72nd minute. This marks the midfielder's first World Cup goal, having taken seven shots this tournament before finally earning one. He has yet to miss a start this tournament and continues to be an influential piece with his eight chances created, likely to remain a major part of the team moving forward.
