Takes one shot on target
Fayzullaev had one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 5-0 defeat to Portugal.
Analysis: Fayzullaev couldn't do a lot of damage with his pace, but he was one of the two Uzbekistan players who at least took a shot on target. Fayzullaev should be one of Uzbekistan's most dangerous players against DR Congo on Saturday.
Six crosses against Colombia
Fayzullaev scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-1 loss versus Colombia.
Analysis: Fayzullaev was unquestionably Uzbekistan's standout performer in Wednesday's 3-1 defeat to Colombia, heading home a loose ball after Camilo Vargas failed to deal with it in the second half to bring his side level at 1-1. He also delivered six crosses and took two corners across 77 minutes before being replaced by Azizbek Amonov. The attacking midfielder found significantly more space after halftime as manager Fabio Cannavaro adjusted his side's shape, and his goal, Uzbekistan's first-ever at a World Cup gave his team belief they could cause an upset before Colombia's quality ultimately prevailed. His creativity, set-piece involvement and ability to arrive late into the box from wide positions make him Uzbekistan's most dangerous attacking outlet, and his impact from the left flank will be central to any hopes they carry into their remaining group fixtures.
