He was already more inspired than in previous weeks before the break, and his left-footed goal – even if the goalkeeper was at fault – should completely free him up.
Coosemans : 6
He hasn’t had such a quiet night this season. Could have saved the 2-1 if Simic had let the ball go.
Sardine : 7
Lots of offensive impulses and whenever he could, he would throw balls in front of the goal. A huge expenditure of energy.
Simic : 5.5
An unfortunate intervention on the 2-1.
Loop: 5
A few imprecise deliveries, as is his habit. Can consider himself lucky that his spit at Varga was not seen.
N’Diaye: 6.5
Correct match, Augustinsson is not missing for Sporting. Already had cramps in the 70th. N’Diaye 6.5
Dendoncker : 6.5
He held his own as the only defensive midfielder.
Stroeykens : 6,5
He was less prominent than in recent matches but still provided the assist for the 1-0.
Edit : 7
Author of the first offensive actions and it was he who caused the penalty.
Have fun : 6
On the action where he got injured, he almost gave the assist for 1-0.
Dolberg : 6,5
Some very nice controls early in the game. Perfectly kicked penalty.
Angulo: 5
His second yellow card was stupid, his first was undeserved.
Vazquez : 6
A few sprints, but the game seemed over.
Ashimeru: 6
He got into the game without any hang-ups.
Leoni 6:
Never has any problems adapting to the pace of the game when he comes on.
Hubert 7:
A bold choice to play with just one number 6. His more vertical football has done some good.
Anderlecht get a scare but start their European campaign well by beating Ferencvaros (2-1)
