Qatar v Argentina: Group B - Copa America Brazil 2019

#3 Hassan Al-Haydos- Flop

Hassan Al-Haydos, had one of the nights to forget as Qatar crashed out of the Copa America with just one point to their name. Qatar's captain was unable to lift his side's spirits after they conceded early on in the game.

Al-Haydos was not as involved in the game as one would have hoped for as he just had 36 touches throughout the 90 minutes played. The midfielder just attempted 17 passes and had an accuracy of 74% whereas he also lost 6 out of his 11 duels.

The Qatari captain looked lost throughout the game as he was completely overshadowed by the midfield trio of Leandro Parades, Giovani Lo Celso and Rodrigo De Paul. He was dispossessed twice last night and became the player to lose possession most times throughout the match.
