Two crosses vs Japan
El Abdi had two crosses (zero accurate) and four tackles in Sunday's 4-0 defeat to Japan.
Analysis: Abdi won four tackles in five attempts, joint-most by any player in the match. The 32-year-old made an interception and a clearance as well. Other than that, Abdi provided two crosses, but neither was accurate.
Struggles on left flank
El Abdi recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 5-1 loss versus Sweden.
Analysis: El Abdi endured a difficult evening as the left wingback in Sunday's heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden at Monterrey Stadium, delivering two crosses, neither accurate, taking one corner and registering one interception in a match where his side were overrun from the first minute by a Swedish attack that generated 13 total attempts and five goals. The left wingback struggled to provide the attacking width his side desperately needed to threaten in transition, with his crossing inaccuracy compounding Tunisia's difficulties in a match where they were outclassed across every area of the pitch. His pace and directness down the left flank remain assets that Tunisia will need to use more effectively in their remaining group games if they are to recover from a devastating opening defeat and stay in World Cup contention.
