Leads clearances in tidy display

Elvedi recorded six clearances in Thursday's 4-1 win versus Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 65th minute.

Analysis: Elvedi led Switzerland in clearances with eight but his other defensive numbers were modest for the night. His only foul of the game earned him a yellow card, and he has now picked up three fouls across the opening two games. In possession though he was tidy and reliable, completing 67 of 70 passes and creating one chance for his side.

Solid at heart of defense

Elvedi registered two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Qatar.

Analysis: Elvedi anchored the center of Switzerland's back three with authority throughout Saturday's 1-1 draw with Qatar, winning the majority of his aerial duels. The Borussia Monchengladbach centre-back was beaten by Boualem Khoukhi's stoppage-time header from a corner, a collective defensive breakdown that overshadowed an otherwise composed individual performance and left Switzerland with one point instead of three heading into a group that now sees all four teams level.
