Camavinga has changed everything
What a start for the young Rennes prodigy! Appearing on the lawn in the 63rd minute in place of Bourigeaud, the midfielder literally transformed the hitherto rather sterile game of Stade Rennais. Camavinga signed a very high level half-hour, multiplying the flashbacks, finding the gaps by regaling the public with some very high class gestures. It was he who cleverly deflected the ball with his head on the corner which brought the Rennes equalizer signed Da Silva (74th). Under his leadership, the Bretons put the Mastiffs to death.
Renato Sanches, precious in the midfield
In a very close match, the presence of Renato Sanches was extremely valuable in the Lille midfield. The Dogue seemed physically sharp, being efficient in the recovery, active in pressing with a quality of passing which often allowed to create shifts He was also dangerous on two attempts from far (33rd and 50th), showing a once again its good typing quality.
The Lille public
Unlike other sections of ultras, Lille supporters did not boycott the resumption of their club in a Pierre-Mauroy stadium which could accommodate 5,000 spectators on Saturday evening. The 220 northern ultras in the stands warmed up the atmosphere in the 50,000-seat enclosure. It should be noted that the rules of distancing were also fully respected and the spectators, all equipped with masks, were methodically placed in the stadium at regular intervals.
Flops
The very ugly gesture of Reinildo Mandava
The Mozambique defender signed a very dangerous tackle on Raphinha who had escaped on the right side in the 43rd minute. The Dogue literally took the right ankle of the Brazilian who could have injured himself very seriously on this action. His expulsion was deserved, like that, also very spectacular of Boey, author of an impressive high kick on the same Reinildo Mandava a few moments before (35th). The dangerous gesture on the face was certainly unintentional but also deserved the red card.
Dirty evening for the forwards
Called to replace Victor Osimhen who left for Naples this summer, the Canadian Jonathan David signed a very discreet performance for his first official match in the northerner jersey even if it was effective when the arrows Ikoné and Bamba leaned on him as a pivot. Rarely served, the former player of La Gantoise has never given up. In the opposing camp, M'baye Niang lived an almost identical evening. Very few balls to put in their mouths for the unhappy Senegalese international on his few initiatives.
