AT THE SAME TIME (7). He started his match with a huge save in front of Kroupi (8') before seeing Tosin flirt with his post. He quickly comes out in front of Kroupi to hinder him and make the attacker miss his head. In the second half, he was vigilant on several shots from distance, including a good save from Ponceau (79').
WORSE (7.5). He ran for two and swallowed the spaces for four. A huge chest and a right foot which brought danger, without forgetting to defend accurately. The right-back was close to opening the scoring by catching an aerial ball, but Mendy pushed it back onto his line (39'). He could have given himself an assist, but Cherni found the post (90'+2).
KOUASSI (8). A full match from him with a majority of duels won and gushing about. He was rewarded with his first professional goal when he took a free kick from Sellouki which hit the post (1-0, 66'). “They signed a lot of offensive players, you had to communicate a lot to get them,” said the player at the end of the match.
TAVARES (7.5). He knew how to play cleanly when the game demanded it, and hit shots when necessary. His experience, his vice, his reading of the game and his leadership are a blessing for Stade Laval. He brilliantly took the defense tango against the best attack in the championship.

SUPPORT (7). His positioning as left central defender, in the absence of Bianda, was surprising. He seemed hesitant on some interventions and sometimes took risks that the position does not allow. But above all he extinguished several hot balloons.
CHERNY (7). He continued as a starter after the Coupe de France and played a full match. After starting the match in diesel mode, he held his left side well and showed that he had juice offensively. Very close to scoring the third goal after a big miss and a hit on the post (90'+2).
SANNA (7). Shadow work and constant pressure on Kalulu to prevent him from playing. He blocked the midfield to prevent Abergel from successfully finding the right pass.
ROYE (7). The captain once again led his team into a big fight. Like Sanna, he locked the engine room.
PULP (6). Less prominent offensively, and for good reason, he sacrificed a lot to defend.
ZOHI (6,5). His most consistent match in the Stade Lavallois jersey despite little danger. He helped to create a link between the midfield and the attack and knew how to give away some good balls. Good ideas and interesting calls. A header off target (10').
TCHOKOUNTE (8). “At halftime he was sore and wanted to go out. After the first goal he was pissed and wanted to go out.” It doesn't take more than these two sentences from Olivier Frapolli to summarize the importance of Malik Tchokounté in this team. He was the first defender, but above all an important anchor point to bring the ball up. He was rewarded for his encounter with a goal after leg passes and a left shot (2-0, 87'). His cross-shot is not far from ending up in the back (55').
