Aiglon of the Match

Atal, what a return!

The Crédit Agricole Aiglon of the Match for Strasbourg (1-0) with 69% of the vote goes to Youcef Atal, after a high-quality performance as he made his return to the line-up after injury. 

Unavailable since the match against Lille (4-0), the Algerian international made no mistake as he returned to the Allianz Riviera. Starting on the right of a 4-3-3, before moving to right wing-back after the break, when the Gym switched to a 3-5-2, Atal scored his third goal of the season after 20 minutes. A moment of the game where he saw the opportunity, broke into the box, and got on the end of a cross from Saint-Maximin to take the lead.

The winger touched the ball on 76 occasions, had a pass completion rate of 80.6% and helped secure victory with an 80 metre run in the final moments of the game. This excellent performance allowed him to earn his 8th man of the match award this season.

With an assist and another impressive outing, Allan Saint-Maximin (20% of the vote) sits in 2nd place. Commanding at the heart of the defence, Dante (11%) takes the 3rd place on the podium.
