The analysis of the match between Olympique Lyonnais and AJ Auxerre reveals a contrasting performance of the players, although generally positive for the team. Custodian Lucas Perri posted reassuring insurance against opposing offensives, avoiding a costly mistake, while Saël Kumbedi distinguished himself by his commitment and growing connection to Rayan Cherki. Duje Caleta-Car demonstrated its reliability despite a limited playing time, and Nemanja Matic, visibly motivated by his recent journey, delivered a notable performance. Corentin Tolisso affirmed himself as a key element in the field, orchestrating the game with precision, while Georges Mikautadze shone by his technical qualities and his sense of collective.

Despite this positive momentum, some players have not met expectations. Moussa Niakhaté struggled to stand out in the absence of his usual partner, Abner appeared discreet, and Thiago Almada, despite his will, was rarely decisive, even being involved in an adverse goal. Alexandre Lacazette delivered a disappointing performance, just missing in his passes, duels and hits, and his late goal did not erase his many mistakes. Rayan Cherki, despite outstanding performance, was stifled by the coach’s tactical decisions.

Finally, coach Jorge Maciel, supported by Paulo Fonseca, orchestrated a promising encounter, marked by a spectacular game and a general mastery of the field. However, the tardiness of replacements and the maintenance of the two attackers on the ground throughout the meeting were questionable choices. Nevertheless, the collective as a whole presented one of the most successful performances of the season, highlighting the potential of Olympique Lyonnais.
