Puts in defensive shift
Caceres took one shot, won three duels, and won two aerials in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cape Verde.
Analysis: Caceres turned in a hardworking performance and was active defensively throughout the match. He won challenges, helped Uruguay control possession, and provided stability for long stretches, but he was ultimately part of a defense that conceded twice in a disappointing 2-2 draw, leaving Uruguay facing a difficult final group-stage match against Spain on Friday.
Active defensively in draw
Caceres generated two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Saudi Arabia. He also added five clearances and won four aerial duels.
Analysis: Caceres had to deal with the threat of Firas Al Buraikan, but the Club America center-back did a good job in the air and clearing the ball. The two shots were an added bonus, though Caceres was one of 10 Uruguay players who recorded two or more shots. With Ronald Araujo (calf) still out and Jose Maria Gimenez uncertain due to ankle problems, Caceres should remain in the XI to face Cape Verde on Sunday.
