Albert Riera : in the stands alongside the video analyst following his suspension, Albert Riera made interesting team composition choices. He surprised with a central hinge Bokele-Angely and Cassubie at number 6. In addition, he had to deal with 3 injuries during the meeting: Michelin (6th), Angely (54th) and Sissokho (62nd). His coaching is fluid. He successfully launched De Amorim into the deep end after 7 months of absence. Finally, his team played more direct, and with less possession. This is the first time that Bordeaux has won by scoring 4 goals this season. He only made 3 changes.

Kalle Johnson : he made several saves in the 15th, and 51st allowing him to keep a clean sheet. He touches 40 balls.

Malcom Bokele : he started as a central defender, then he moved to right back after Clément Michelin left at the start of the match. He once again demonstrates his versatility in both positions. This is a plus for the team and the coach. Serious match with 3 duels won and fewer lost balls than in previous outings.

Yoann Barbet : On the bench at kick-off, he came into play in the 18th minute to replace the muscularly injured Michelin. The right-back’s season is over. Captain Barbet plays a serious and diligent match with good technical quality. He doesn’t tremble to take the penalty. He scores his 6th goal of the season, one more than last season.

Mathys Angely : we discover this young player from match to match. Comfortable in duels, in anticipation or passing, he demonstrates great technical qualities. He won 6 duels. He leaves with an injury following irregular contact from the opponent. He is hit in the shoulder. Replaced by Marcelin in the 55th.

Vital Nsimba : he took advantage of the spaces left by the opponent to overflow on his left side. Volunteer, he was rewarded for his efforts by scoring the 4th goal for the Girondins.

Yohan Cassubie : aligned in the same role as Danylo Ignatenko in 6 or in central midfield depending on whether Bordeaux has possession of the ball or not. He won the duels with 8 wins. He was quite comfortable in this position. He also took care of his passes (85% success rate).

Pedro Diaz : One of his best performances of the season. He was the leader of the Girondins de Bordeaux offensives. Scorer on the opening score, and decisive passer on Bordeaux’s 4th goal, he alternated between short and long games without waste. He also hits the crossbar on a shot from outside the penalty area.

Issouf Sissokho : he is very active in recovering the ball, to cut off opposing attacks. He only won 2 duels and still remained discreet in the game. He was injured after a shock in the 62nd minute. Decisive passer on Zuriko’s goal. Replaced by De Amorim. The young Bordeaux midfielder stands out for his touch on the ball, his possession of the ball and his oriented controls. It’s very difficult to take the ball from him. Thus, he obtains interesting free kicks close to the opposing goal

Zuriko Davitashvili : he still has his head in his shoes a little during certain phases of play where he has the ball in his feet. Nevertheless, he was once again the detonator of this Bordeaux team with rapid runs forward. He scores a superb goal with a right-footed shot and is diligent in his ball transmissions.

Jérémy Livolant : he obtains the penalty which allows Barbet to score the 3rd goal. He grumbled because he wanted to pull him. He was still very active. Even if he has waste, he loses fewer balls than in previous meetings. He hits the post with a shot in the 4th minute of play.

Zan Vipotnik : another very discreet match for the number 9 of the Girondins yet faced with a nimble defense, he never knew how to exploit his scoring opportunities. He always overchecks rather than taking his chances by executing quickly. He still lacks a mark of reactivity in the area to score. Note an interesting back-to-goal game during possession phases. He was the decisive passer on the opening score.
