the essential
Rarely rushed, often interesting in transition, the Violets returned this Saturday evening from a cursed field with a point. Deserved. At the end of this eighteenth day: 0-0. Who shone? Who could have made a mistake? The Dispatch takes out the notebook.
LEFTOVERS (6/10). Not a single save to make for the international Espoirs goalkeeper who, during this first period, will have used his feet more. First closed angle parade, right hand, on a tumble from Fofana (73). Vigilant against Tolisso (84).
CANVOT (6). Aligned like Wednesday in the Cup on the right flank of the central defense, the native of Argenteuil once again showed unfailing tranquility. Playing simple and fair, speaking at the right time: on Mikautadze, for example (5).

CRESSWELL (7). Voltigeur: throws himself from the start to counter a shot from Cherki (2), then donates his body and his right shoulder on a return from Tagliafico – which will cause the VAR to be called but, after viewing at the edge of the field on the part of Mr. Millot, we will logically leave it there (34).
MCKENZIE (6). Still very strong, the American. With tenacity in very useful duels: along the touchline on Kumbedi (37). Other than that, head off frame (45 + 3).

DAMN (7). A delight of a little balloon pricked towards King, to meet whom Perri emerges; the poorly returned ball being converted into a goal by Aboukhlal – here too, rightly refused for a slight offside by King (12). Frieze of the dormer window (60).
GENREAU (6). A relevant entry against Strasbourg last Sunday, an opening of the mark this week against Laval, and here is the tireless Australian torchbearer again in the starting XI! Applied behind (on Tolisso, 9), inspired in front (blind pass for Gboho in the 16m50, 32). Replaced by ZAJC (85e).

CASSERES (6). On maneuvers and set pieces, just that for the Venezuelan marathon runner.
SUAZO (6.5). In line with his previous productions. Incisive defensively, not far from decisive offensively.
The goal wide open…
ABOUKHLAL (5,5). He weighed on the Gones rearguard. Certainly. Half-volley recovery into the arms of the Lyon goalkeeper (49th). Replaced by BABICKA (77e).
KING (5,5). Surprised by the deviation of McKenzie's skull, he unscrews his shot while the goal is open (45 + 3): ouch. Replaced by MAGRI (77e).

WONDERFUL (6). Better than his last weeks in the zone of truth. This is evidenced by his off-center attempt stopped by the goalkeeper (50). Or its placement into orbit of Babicka (78).
