Schmeichel (6) : he took two shots from Fofana (12′, 67′) and was saved by his bar on a new attempt by the Lensois captain. Reassuring throughout the match and inspired on a few outings.
Youssouf (7): arrived last week, he started in the eleven, on the right of the defense at three. Rough in the duel, interesting with the ball, the Burundian showed personality. He goes to the coal, sends strands and is not afraid of anything, it’s validated!
Todibo (6) : of all fights, he ended the first half limping following a clash with Youssouf. Despite his courage, he resolved to leave his partners just following Laborde’s goal. Replaced by Viti (59′), who missed a raise and offered an equalizer to Fofana, who hit the bar (67′). The Italian made up for it by winning his head duel ahead of Sotoca (84′).
Dante (7) : shifted to the left, he sometimes struggled with the calls behind him from the Lensois attackers but he still held on. Imperial header late in the game.
Mendy (7) : for his great first in the eleven in Ligue 1, he forced Samba to make a stop following a nice volley (11 ‘) at the end of a good run forward. At 18, he was fearless and met the expectations of his coach who constantly invited him to press his direct opponent. Replaced by Bard (58’), who had a hard time getting into his game and only suffered.
Ramsey (7) : he didn’t do everything in the first half but did a lot, with and without the ball. Always fair in his movements, he distinguished himself by a superb return to the feet of Fofana (8 ‘). A corner well taken before Laborde’s goal. “Good job”!
Boudaoui: Hit in the ankle following a sole from Said, he was replaced in the 21st minute by Rosario (21′) (5), who had a lot of impact but, alas, lost too many balls in the heart of the game.
Thuram (7): he ran a lot in the transition phases and made an impact when needed. Precious. A masterful breakthrough punctuated by a shot from the left released by Samba (87 ‘) at the end of the match.
Lotomba (6) : on the left, this time, it was coherent and dynamic. He has never been so good with the Nice jersey since Didier Digard took over as coach. He ended up on the right
Diop (6) : more successful than once morest Lille, he evolved in support of Laborde and made some differences. The 1-0 corner came from a good action on his part and a good cross from the left side. At the expected level!
Laborde (7): a thankless role, alone in the lead, in which he struggled to express himself in the first period. As always, he didn’t give up and was rewarded for his efforts by scoring closely, foxing surfaces. His last two goals have yielded six points.
