7.5 Marsoni: lThe Liégeois had fire in his feet. Hyper present on the defensive level, he never hesitated and often correctly to bring the surplus up front. It is the basis of the 0-1.
5.5 Covers : perhaps one of the least comfortable this Sunday. Often on the verge of breaking, he lost a duel on Davies’ 2-3 but came back masterfully later to prevent a 3-3.
7,5 Sousa : the boss of defense was imperial. Author of his first goal – from a corner! – the Brazilian was especially a rock in defense. A real sure value.
5 Adaramola : often abandoned by Alberto on the flank, he did the job defensively but was a little more messy in the attacking phases, especially at the end of the match.
7 Abe : the Japanese had put on his work overalls to greatly hamper the Kortrijk construction. A huge expenditure of energy, both behind and in front. However, it will be suspended next weekend. 6.5 Queen-Adelaide: a calm start to the match, to settle the game, marred by a bad pass which allowed Kortrijk to make it 1-3. But this calm has precisely enabled the RWDM not to take on water. And his goal at the end of the match kills all suspense.
6 Mercier : he gives Sousa the 0-2 with a caviar from a corner, something rare this season. Rather useful on the counterattacks, he paid the price, at the break, for the heavy pressing from Kortrijk.
6 Camara : when found on the right flank, it often hurt. Dangerous counterattacks, one of which leads to 0-1. Could have better exploited his breakthroughs in the rest of the match.
6 Alberto : a somewhat lucky assist for 0-1, a penalty converted for 0-3. The Brazilian was decisive. We will perhaps criticize him for the slightly less good defensive work.
6.5 Gueye: perfectly placed to conclude the 0-1, the great Senegalese was a real poison for Kortrijk with his ability to win aerial duels. At the end of the match, he missed several opportunities to make it 2-4 but finally offered it to Reine-Adélaïde at the end of the suspense.
The replacements
6 Sarr: a good rise in the middle to bring more defensive consistency in this sector and a lot of calm too.
6 Segovia : a real wisp, his entry will have done a lot of good to continue to bring danger on the counter but his defensive work was also very important.
6 Klaus : a return which did good to gain stability and weight in the defense when Kortrijk was the most dangerous.
