Takes three shots in draw
El Aynaoui registered three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brazil.
Analysis: El Aynaoui was all over the midfield and was one of four Moroccan players who took at least three shots despite playing in midfield. El Aynaoui is a superb technical player, so he could be in line for a more attacking-minded role against Scotland and Haiti, two games in which Morocco figure to be more dominant in terms of possession.
Serviceable outing in Lazio tilt
El Aynaoui created two scoring chances and registered one cross (one accurate), three tackles (two won) and one corner in Sunday's 2-0 win against Lazio.
Analysis: El Aynaoui put together a nice two-way display while replacing Manu Kone (undisclosed) and teaming up with Niccolo Pisilli in the midfield in a more defensive look. His minutes in the last game will mostly depend on the starter's status. He has notched at least one key pass and one cross in his four appearances on the trot (three starts), totaling seven of each, with four accurate deliveries, one goal and one assist over that span. Additionally, this marked his third straight outing with one or more tackles, for a total of seven (three won).
