Puts up decent numbers versus Senegal

Ajer won two of two tackles and had six clearances, one interception and one block in Monday's 3-2 victory versus Senegal.

Analysis: Ajer racked up clearances for the second tilt in a row, but the Norway defense was wobbly in the second half and gave up two avoidable goals, and he wasn't great in those instances. He almost scored early thanks to a header. He has tallied at least six clearances, amassing 14, one tackle, totaling three (two won), one interception and one block in the first two matches.

Solid defensively in win

Ajer had one cross (one accurate) and one tackle in Tuesday's 4-1 victory versus Iraq.

Analysis: Ajer put in a strong defensive display against an Iraqi side that proved dangerous at times, leading the team in clearances with eight while adding one interception, one tackle and one blocked shot. The center back also had a hand in the fourth goal, with his only cross of the night finding Erling Haaland, whose header forced the own goal.
