Zakaria out of the running, Dier struggling in the second half, Golovin active: discover the ratings of the Monaco players in Lille

HRADECKY 4

He constantly tried to pass the ball cleanly, short or long, with a lack of consistency. It was on a final pass directly into touch from him that Lille recovered the ball before the goal. Author of two risky exits in the first half, he sprang forward, with his foot, in front of Giroud on the hour mark but did not exude great serenity overall.

TEZE 5

Having made a good start, he made an impact in duels and was vigilant in covering his zone. Offensively, he was able to cross when he had the opportunity. He wasn't always supreme either, and Correia notably put him down on an acceleration (32'). Replaced by VANDERSON (74'), who didn't hesitate to play high up the pitch.

DIER 3

He started well with headed clears and reassuring positioning. Sometimes he went very far out of his zone to track a player, not always successfully, and he blocked passes when his team needed to calm down. Above all, he was fooled by Giroud's pivoting play on goal.

MAWISSA 5

Clean in cover, he didn't embarrass himself when the situation was tense and defended hard. He showed maturity in leaving Giroud with his back to the play in certain duels. Unfortunately, he was caught out by Fernandez-Pardo and conceded a penalty that Giroud missed in the final moments (90'+7).

HENRIQUE 6

The Brazilian played an interesting match. His crosses created danger, and he could have provided the assist if Akliouche had been more successful (9'). He was diligent, but we saw less of him when Losc played higher up the pitch. He celebrated a counterattack on Correia by clenching his biceps. Replaced by OUATTARA (85'), who was caught in the back by Fernandez Pardo on goal.

CAMARA 5

Too little influence in the first half, he seemed far removed from Zakaria, sometimes high up the pitch and a little withdrawn. Much better after the break, where he was forced to be lower and useful with his first pass and his direction of play.

ZAKARIA 3

The Swiss player didn't seem to be in his element. It's simple: he probably complained more times than he touched the ball. We didn't see him manage the tempo as he usually does, nor show his leadership to bring calm and unity when ASM was struggling. And since results generally depend on his performances...

GOLOVIN 6

Used in a more central role, the Russian covered a lot of ground. He offered himself and knew how to play with one touch when necessary, like when he launched Akliouche for a one-on-one with Ozer (17'). Present in the fight and the retreat, too, like on this long run to come and hinder Meunier on a counter (66'). Replaced by BEN SEGHIR (74'), transparent.

AKLIOUCHE 4

Alone in the box and spoiled by a cross from Henrique, he lacked the precision to open the scoring at the start of the match (9'). He laid on a wonderful cross for Balogun (14') shortly after and was interesting in sequences (play between the lines, orientations), but he lacked consistency over time.

BALOGUN 5

Starting in place of Biereth, he was very good with his back to the play. He was often able to successfully combine control and pass while he had a player on his back. A great opportunity with a diving header that he failed to put on target. Much more discreet in the second half.

MINAMINO 4

Mobile and inspired at the start of the match, he posed a threat to the Lille defense. But we saw too little of him in the second half. He was replaced by BIERETH (74'), who could have equalized with a toe-kick in the dying seconds.
