Provides assist against Austria Acerbi had four interceptions and five clearances, won seven duels and picked up an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over over Austria.

Impact Acerbi filled in for Giorgio Chiellini in the back and had a pretty strong outing, although Italy gave up their first goal of the tournament in overtime. He had a key contribution on offense as well, as he teed up Matteo Pessina with a flick-on in the box. The starter could be back for the quarter-finals against either Belgium or Portugal. Acerbi has logged six interceptions, seven clearances and two tackles in three Euro appearances (one start).

Second half sub Acerbi created one chance in 45 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 win over Wales in Group A.

Impact Acerbi played for two-thirds of the second group stage game against Switzerland as well to compromise his appearances in the Euros so far. He's firmly entrenched as a backup center-back behind Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and even Alessandro Bastoni, so Acerbi may not get many more chances to play unless others are unable to do so.
