Juninho Bacuna

ANALYSIS
Bacuna missed his lone chance to threaten the opposing goal and had few more opportunities to show his attacking talent this time, but he made up for it with a game-high five interceptions and a clearance off the goal line which helped prevent an even worse defeat. While his upside remains limited as part of an underdog team, he should be one of the most consistent threats on the squad and may be able to push forward in future matches while carrying occasional defensive work along with duel-winning strength. Prior to the match against Germany, he had produced one goal plus two assists over his previous six appearances for both club and country.
