Michal Sadilek

ANALYSIS
Sadilek went the full 90 in Wednesday's 3-0 World Cup loss to Mexico, helping Czechia hold its own in midfield for long stretches despite the team struggling to turn possession into meaningful scoring chances. He finished with two shots, seven crosses, two interceptions and three tackles (one won) after previously finding the net against South Africa earlier in the group stage, though he was unable to produce the same spark against a near full-strength Mexico side that scored twice in a six-minute stretch before the hour mark. The defeat confirmed Czechia's elimination as the team finished bottom of Group A with one point from three matches.
