Starts, records seven crosses

Baena recorded two shots, two chances created and seven crosses in Sunday's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.

Analysis: Baena would get the start Sunday after not playing at all in their opener, with the midfielder recording 61 minutes of play. He would lead his team in crosses with seven, likely benefiting from having duties on four corner kicks. A starting role for the midfielder will be tough to keep, as Nico Williams will likely push for that role moving forward.

Suspension cleared

Baena is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Analysis: Baena has served his suspension due to yellow card accumulation in La Liga and is set to return in the next contest. The midfielder is expected to resume his rotational role moving forward.
