Bukayo Saka enjoyed plenty of joy down the right side and this was reflected in his performance. He caused a plethora of problems for Maximiliano Araújo, getting the better of the Uruguayan on most occasions.

He linked up well with his teammates and played a significant part in his side's attacking phases. The winger assisted Kai Havertz after showing great pace and reaction to beat goalkeeper Franco Israel to the ball.

Saka got a well-deserved goal when he emphatically dispatched from the spot to put his side 4-1 up. It was another great showing from the winger, who ended the game as captain.
