Dominant display in clean sheet
Sanchez recorded one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over DR Congo.
Analysis: Sanchez put in a dominant defensive display, doing an excellent job of keeping DR Congo forward Cedric Bakambu quiet for most of the game. The center back was solid throughout, winning one tackle, adding two interceptions and three clearances to help his side earn a valuable clean sheet that secured their qualification. He also contributed going forward, getting himself a chance from a set piece and creating one chance. With Colombia enjoying plenty of possession, Sanchez was equally important in build-up play, completing an impressive 63 passes.
Composed in central defense
Sanchez recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Uzbekistan.
Analysis: Sanchez helped anchor Colombia's back line throughout the match, contributing to a defensive unit that limited Uzbekistan to just two shots on target despite a spirited second-half push from the World Cup debutants, ending the game with two chances created, two tackles and six clearances. He was part of the unit that conceded only once, and entered the competition in the best way possible since the Cafeteros are leading the group K before their second group stage game against DR Congo on June 23.
