Solid defensively, poor service
Rodriguez registered four crosses (zero accurate) and three tackles in Thursday's 4-1 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Analysis: Rodriguez was heavily involved as Switzerland dominated possession and channeled much of their attack down his side alongside Dan Ndoye. He completed 51 accurate passes and was a consistent presence in the opposition half throughout. Going forward however he struggled to make his crosses count, attempting four with none finding their target, and his most reliable contribution came at the other end where he won two of his three tackles defensively.
Eight crosses against Qatar
Rodriguez registered eight crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Qatar.
Analysis: Rodriguez was involved in Switzerland's most dangerous moments in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Qatar, repeatedly surging down the left flank and combining effectively with Ruben Vargas. The left-back recorded two interceptions and delivered eight crosses, providing a constant attacking outlet throughout the match. Rodriguez was replaced by Miro Muheim late in the second half as coach Murat Yakin looked to protect the lead, only for the substitute to deflect Boualem Khoukhi's stoppage-time header into his own net in a heartbreaking ending to a match Switzerland had largely controlled.
