Defensively, Saliba was a rock at the back. He won 3 out of 5 ground duels and was unbeatable in the air, winning all 5 of his aerial duels. His aerial ability provided a significant advantage in neutralizing Canada’s attacking threats, especially from set pieces.
Saliba also contributed significantly to France’s defensive solidity with 6 clearances and 2 tackles.
