4. Omeruo pushing harder for starting line up against south Africa, after impressing display over the weekend.

Omeruo started in his fourth consecutive LaLiga match, marshalling a back 3 defence alongside Dimitirios Siovas and Rodrigo Tarin as Leganes kept out the duo of Patrick Roberts and Christian Stuani from scoring.
