Alaba recorded one tackle (one won), three clearances and one interception in Monday's 2-0 defeat versus Argentina.
Analysis: Alaba was Austria's standout defender despite the defeat, producing several crucial interventions including a goal-line clearance and a last-man tackle. He remained composed in possession, completing 44 of 47 passes, while frequently stepping into midfield to create a man advantage in the center of the park.
Limited to under one hour
Alaba logged one shot (zero on goal), three clearances, two interceptions and one block across 59 minutes during Austria's 3-1 win Tuesday against Jordan.
Analysis: Whether or not Alaba is still acclimating to a recent knock, he did not excel against Group J's least proven team. Alaba's lone shot was erratic, and Jordan almost got on the scoresheet earlier due to his failed clearance attempt during stoppage time. Not long after the Jordan team scored, Austria manager Ralf Rangnick underwent a triple substitution, which included Kevin Danso replacing Alaba. Though he is relatively out of form for Austria's next game, being the team captain means his team will look to him to fend off defending World Cup champion Argentina come Monday.
