Imperial Barcola, the Angevin defense in distress… The tops and the flops

Bradley Barcola had an excellent match for his side this Saturday against Angers. The SCO defense sank under the influence of Parisian attacks in the first half (2-4).

Tops

Barcola in great shape

He’s probably the man of the match. Placed on his usual left side, Bradley Barcola was particularly prominent this evening. Author of a double, in the 31st and 45+2nd minute of play, for the first time since the match against Rennes on September 27, the 22-year-old gave way at half-time to Désiré Doué . He has already reached 10 goals in Ligue 1 and is consolidating his lead over his pursuers in the scorers’ standings, in this case over Greenwood who is at 8 goals and David at 7. Something to reassure yourself before the start of the Blues rally Monday.

Kang-In Lee above the rest

Like his French teammate, Kang-In Lee had a very good match. Placed on the right flank of the Parisian attack, the Korean scored twice (17th, 20th), and allowed his team to quickly take a two-goal lead. More discreet in the second half, the winger gave way to Neves in the 91st minute at the end of the match without much at stake.

Flops

The Angevin defense in full shipwreck

They will do everything to quickly forget this evening. The Angevin defensive quartet Arcus-Biumla-Lefort-Hanin suffered a lot this Saturday evening, particularly in the first period. Completely amorphous and overwhelmed by the Parisians who did not seem to strain their talent, the Angevin defense still did better in the second half, notably Biumla who even scored at the end of the match. Under the threat of Saint-Étienne, the Angevins will have to come back with better intentions after the break if they want to stay in Ligue 1.

Fofana in difficulty

Like his defense, SCO Angers goalkeeper Yahia Fofana suffered this Saturday evening. Faulty on one of the four Parisian goals, the Ivorian goalkeeper conceded four goals for the second time this season, two months after the defeat against Nice (1-4). Despite a good second half, the 24-year-old will also have to return with better intentions after the international break.
