Darko Nejasmic, with 10 aerial duels won. Next: Tobias Storm 6, Deveron Fonville 5.
Nejasmic ruled the air by winning 10 aerial duels, well clear of Storm's 6. That aerial authority proved vital in securing a goalless draw.
Which Olympiacos F.C. player made the most tackles?
Rodinei, with 6 tackles. Next: Dani García 2, Bruno Onyemaechi 2.
Rodinei stood out defensively by making 6 tackles, three times as many as García and Onyemaechi. That backline work helped keep a clean sheet.
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.
