Scores in win
Alajbegovic scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Qatar.
Analysis: Alajbegovic got on the scoresheet during Wednesday's comfortable win over Qatar. The attacker was solid throughout the match and made the most of his chances against Qatar. He will hope to build on that form heading into the knockout stage, which will almost certainly be a much tougher match.
Earns first World Cup start
Alajbegovic recorded two chances created and five crosses in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Switzerland.
Analysis: Alajbegovic earned his first start in World Cup play Thursday after a bench appearance in his last outing, as the attacker started on the left flank. He would fail to see a shot on net but did still earn some decent contribution, notching five crosses and two chances created. With their World Cup life on the line in the next match, it is unknown if the young 18-year-old will receive the start again.
