Keeps clean sheet Tuesday
Pongracic recorded one tackle (zero won) and 11 clearances in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Panama.
Analysis: After not appearing in the opening match versus England, Pongracic entered the starting XI for the must-win match versus Panama. He played very well on the defensive end, making a team-high 11 clearances to help shut down the Panama attack and keep the clean sheet. Given how well Croatia's back-four looked, especially compared to the disaster of the back-three versus England, the team may continue with four at the back versus Ghana on Saturday. There's also a good chance Pongracic starts again over the young Luka Vuskovic considering how well he played on Tuesday.
