Records team-high seven clearances
Obispo had one tackle (zero won), seven clearances and one interception in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Ecuador.
Analysis: Eloy Room aside, Obispo was one of the standout performers for Curacao in this match. The PSV defender should remain a mainstay for Curacao's defensive line in the group-stage finale against Ivory Coast on Thursday. Through two World Cup starts, Obispo has 10 clearances, four interceptions, three tackles and three blocked shots.
Logs three blocks in loss
Obispo recorded two tackles (one won), three clearances, three blocks and three interceptions in Sunday's 7-1 defeat to Germany.
Analysis: Obispo was busy in defensive work, with his output including a team-high total of blocks and a last-man tackle, but that effort was barely reflected in the result during Curacao's World Cup opener. He should remain a key piece of his national team's back line, even though he'll continue to lack clean sheet potential in the remaining two group-stage contests. In any case, Obispo is among the squad's best sources of defensive stats, and he also assisted once during the pre-tournament friendlies.
