Jesus Gallardo News: Creative threat from left flank

Gallardo had one shot (zero on goal), 13 crosses (three accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 loss to England.

Gallardo enjoyed plenty of chances to push forward against an opposition that was reduced to 10 men early in the second half Sunday. The 13 crosses were the second-highest figure on the squad and raised his 2026 World Cup total to 16. He was originally expected to play a more offensive role in all games, so it was rather disappointing that he failed to score or assist throughout the international event. Still, he retained an edge over Mateo Chavez and strengthened his status a regular member of a back line that secured four clean sheets in five games.
