PLAYER RATINGS | Montpellier 0-1 Lille, a strong defensive display and a fortunate winner enough for LOSC | OneFootball

Ligue 1 21/22, Round 24 – 12/2/22

MONTPELLIER – 0

Jonas Omlin, 7

Arnaud Souquet, 5

Nicolas Cozza, 5

Mamadou Sakho, 3 – He was far from his best here, posting a clumsy display at times and made three defensive errors in the first six minutes. Although he improved as the game went on while being unfortunate to see the ball squirm between his legs for Xeka to score after Celik’s shot.

Mihailo Ristić, 5

Jordan Ferri, 5

Joris Chotard, 5

Téji Savanier, 7 – The game’s central protagonist as usual and was a constant threat via some teasing crossing and sharp midfield interplay while being unlucky not to score due to a second-half volley being well blocked and Jardim making a smart near-post save before halftime.

Junior Sambia, 3

Florent Mollet, 4

Elye Wahi, 4

Others: Oyongo 5, Germain 5, Gioacchini 5, Makouana 5.

LILLE – 1 (Xeka 77)

Léo Jardim, 6 – An upgrade on Grbic on this showing and, after some impressive displays in August, LOSC should have kept faith in him in hindsight. He made five saves including three smart first-half stops with his side under pressure.

Zeki Çelik, 5

José Fonte, 7

Sven Botman, 6

Tiago Djaló, 6

Benjamin André, 6

Xeka, 6

Jonathan Bamba, 5

Gabriel Gudmundsson, 3 – A hard worker and is usually positionally solid but lacks the technical ability and composure to execute at this level and is, in truth, out of his depth in Ligue 1 based on this display and his season so far. His poor final ball wasted a handful of good openings for Lille.

Angel Gomes, 5

Jonathan David, 4

Others: Onana 5, Weah 5, Yilmaz 5.
