Ligue 1 – Matchday 13 – Metz-Lyon scores

Pope Matar Sarr 3, never in the game

At 18, it is never easy to face a team such as Olympique Lyonnais. Even more when the Rhone have decided to give their talent to come and sow trouble in the opposing defense. Like his teammates, Pope Matar Sarr drank the cup in the face of the waves that surged in his direction. Maybe even more than his little comrades. Disturbed by the incessant movements of Memphis and others, the defensive midfielder never knew where to place to hamper his opponents. Aouar’s movement put him in great difficulty and he only really opposed it by mowing him down (29th), receiving a yellow card. Replaced by Warren Tchimbembé at half-time, Frédéric Antonetti did not even give the Senegalese a chance to catch up in the second half.

Toko Ekambi, king of the depths 8

Criticized for his lack of realism, the Cameroonian is in great shape at the end of autumn. After a goal against Reims last week, he offered himself a double after a full match. It’s simple, the Metz defenders have never been able to follow his calls behind their backs. Decisive passer on a very good center back for the opening of the score of Depay (1-0, 17th), he made the break with a powerful strike at the near post after a supersonic transition (2-0, 47th). At the hour of play, he still launches a perfect call in depth before winning his duel against Oukidja (3-0, 60th). With launching pads like Aouar, Paqueta, Guimaraes or Depay, its incessant mobility is a real poison. So when the finish follows …
