Did you know?

La Lente trivia questions about this match. Tap one to see the answer.

Which Lens player played the most passes leading to a shot?

Matthieu Udol, with 4 key passes. Next: Ruben Aguilar 1, Andrija Bulatovic 1.

Udol served as Lens's main creative engine in the 1–2 win, delivering 4 key passes. His influence stood out clearly, as Aguilar and Bulatovic managed just 1 each.

Which Nantes player recovered the most balls?

Matthis Abline, with 7 recoveries. Next: Youssef El Arabi 5, Chidozie Awaziem 4.

Abline spearheaded Nantes's defensive work rate by securing 7 ball recoveries. That exceeded contributions from other areas of the pitch, ahead of El Arabi with 5 and Awaziem with 4.

How is the rating calculated?

The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
