YB put in a strong performance for long stretches against Lyon, only to lose 1-0 in the end. The YB players in the individual critique.
Goal
Marvin Keller
Keller made a top save in the 36th minute to prevent Lyon from going behind. The 23-year-old was absolutely powerless to prevent the goal shortly before the break. Otherwise hardly challenged.
Defense
Saidy Janko
Janko makes little impact on his right side of defense. In stoppage time of the first half, he goes down in the opponent's penalty area, but does not get the penalty he was hoping for. Seoane takes Janko out of the game in the 80th minute.
Defense
Gregory Wüthrich
In the 18th minute, his completely unsuccessful attempted bicycle kick in the opponent's penalty area only hits the opponent. In the duels he makes a good trap, but makes a few too many bad passes.
Defense
Sandro Lauper
Lauper does a decent job and takes care of the ball, which is reflected in his outstanding pass rate of 95.9 percent. Lauper gets 47 out of 49 passes to the man.
Defense
Loris Benito
Benito starts at left-back and plays a decent game overall. However, he is not the best trap in front of the goal, although he is not the main culprit. Benito also dares to push forward into the opponent's half of the pitch, but hardly creates any danger. He picked up a yellow card in stoppage time.
Midfield
Darian Males
Males takes his fair share of punishment in the first half, with a particularly painful collision with teammate Córdova in the 16th minute. He was substituted in the 71st minute.
Midfield
Rayan Raveloson
Raveloson works hard in central midfield alongside Fernandes. He neither stands out nor falls behind.
Midfield
Alvyn Sanches
In the 21st minute, Sanches thumps the ball against the crossbar. In the 60th minute, he curls the ball into the far corner, but the goal does not count because Córdova actively intervenes in the game from an offside position. He makes way for Monteiro in the 71st minute.
Midfield
Edimilson Fernandes
His failed clearance was at the origin of the goal conceded just before the break. Bitter, because Fernandes otherwise put in a committed performance, winning many duels and distributing the ball. He was substituted in the 80th minute.
Midfield
Alan Virginius
Virginius is an asset, but does not score. After Fernandes' ricochet, Virginius had two more chances to defuse the situation before conceding the goal. In the 76th minute, he was unlucky when his deflected shot landed on the post. He was replaced by Chris Bedia ten minutes before the end.
Sturm
Sergio Córdova
In the first half, Córdova collided with teammate Males, in the second he blocked an opponent so that Sanches' goal didn't count. Not his day.
