Richard Rios Montoya
26-Year-Old
Benfica
Three shots from bench
Rios recorded three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 1-0 victory over Ghana. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 78th minute.
ANALYSIS
Rios entered the match in the 45th minute, taking the place of James Rodriguez. He would see some decent work and earn three shots, notching a cross as well. He will likely remain a bench option as they continue, with four straight appearances from the bench this World Cup.
