Lens captain Florian Thauvin earned player of the match honors following an influential display against previously unbeaten Lyon, while clubs such as Brest, Rennes, and Nice also placed multiple players in the latest weekly selection.
Florian Thauvin Drives Lens Past Unbeaten Lyon
Lens playmaker Florian Thauvin orchestrated his side’s attacking sequences during a standout home victory that halted Lyon’s unbeaten run. Maxifoot awarded the veteran midfielder the player of the week distinction, noting that only a strong save from Dominik Greif prevented Thauvin from adding a goal to his two assists. Lens teammate Pierre-Ismaëlo Ganiou joined him in the starting eleven, earning praise for his defensive positioning and distribution against a dangerous Lyon attack.
Brest Dominates Angevine Defense Through Ajorque and Baldé
Brest delivered an emphatic attacking performance against Angers, securing multiple spots in the weekly lineup. Winger Mama Baldé added a high-tempo display, scoring the second goal and creating sustained pressure before departing due to injury. Midfielder Hugo Magnetti anchored the Brest engine room, providing the assist for Ajorque’s opener and recording high recovery totals.
Defensive Resilience Highlights Rennes and Nice Showings
Rennes contributed two defenders to the backline after a strong defensive showing against Auxerre. Central defender Charlie Cresswell won his aerial duels and launched a 60-meter cross-field assist to set up the opening goal, while left-back Aboubakar Nagida executed a crucial defensive recovery to deny an Auxerre forward. In the south, Nice full-back Jonathan Clauss covered the right flank with constant attacking thrust, culminating in a powerful late strike under the crossbar that secured a victory for Les Aiglons.
