Tops
Victor Eletu: He was very confident on the ball and used his low centre of gravity on multiple occasions to win it back as well. Being left-footed and quite short, his playing style is somewhat similar to Ismael Bennacer with good passing but also important defensive contribution.
Hugo Cuenca: He’s one of the stars on the team and he showed that today. He very nearly scored with a great header (which hit the crossbar) and he was probably the one that created the most. However, he could be slightly less selfish.
Dariusz Stalmach: He was always very keen on directing his teammates and dared to drive forward with the ball on multiple occasions. He had one effort that was well-saved by the keeper. It’s clear that he has a lot of talent.
Flops
Andrei Cubis: As the captain of the team, you simply cannot make such a mistake at the back, and in such an important game. He was poor in possession the entire game and failed to keep the defence compact as well.
Lapo Nava: The goalkeeping on the second goal was just laughable, a real rookie mistake. The header might have gone in anyway, but he dove the completely wrong way. And maybe he could have got down lower on the third goal as well.
Youns El Hilali: We expect so much more from him and it simply wasn’t a good game. Whenever he got into a position to shoot it was almost always blocked and on a couple of occasions he shot when he should have passed.
