All-round display despite misses
Arias registered two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 1-0 win versus Congo, The Democratic Republic of The.
Analysis: Arias was deployed in midfield, operating as the player with the most freedom to get forward and make offensive runs. He got himself into some dangerous positions inside the box, having two huge chances that he will feel he could have finished better. However, he more than made up for it with a strong defensive performance, topping his team in tackles won with three and adding two interceptions. His role in build-up play was equally important, as he was outstanding in possession, completing 45 of his 48 passes and creating one chance.
Decent in opener
Arias recorded two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Uzbekistan.
Analysis: Arias was a consistent attacking outlet for Colombia down the flank, contributing to a team performance that produced 15 shots and dominated the right channel with 15 entries into the final third. Arias contributed two shots, two chances created and three crosses to go with two corners, helping Colombia sustain pressure on Uzbekistan's defense for long stretches of the match. Arias will look to add a direct goal contribution as Colombia continue their World Cup campaign against DR Congo on June 23.
