Takes one shot, creates one chance
Ugarte took one shot (off target), created one chance, and committed one foul in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cape Verde.
Analysis: Ugarte delivered a typically combative performance in the heart of Uruguay's midfield, providing the defensive foundation that allowed Uruguay's more attack-minded players to push forward. He'll be a vital ingredient to Uruguay's setup as they go in search of a result against Spain on Friday in an effort to advance to the knockout phase.
Free to move forward
Ugarte registered two shots (one on goal) and two interceptions in Monday's 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia.
Analysis: Ugarte was Uruguay's most defensive-minded midfielder. However, since Saudi Arabia didn't offer much of a threat, the Manchester United midfielder pushed forward when he had the chance to do so. Even in that scenario, Ugarte's defensive-minded role should limit his upside, even if the Cape Verde game on Sunday can be favorable on paper.
