Camara has made a name for himself in the Hérault
When the name Camara is mentioned on the side of La Paillade, we first think of the supersub Souleymane. This Sunday, no trace of the attacker passed through Monaco. On the other hand, Mahdi, him, made speak. Present in the duels, the all-terrain midfielder of AS Saint-Etienne was in the oven and in the mill. Important in the recovery as in his projections forward, it is he who offers the goal of the win to Debuchy after a well-felt call to quickly play a free kick with Nordin, and a devastating hook to eliminate Cozza.
Gourna has a strong head
Stifled by the rise in power of the Brest midfield last week, Lucas Gourna proved this Sunday that it was only an air hole. Although reprimanded on the free kick leading to the opening of the Hérault score, he delivered a very well-made match. Present in the first raises by going down alongside his central if necessary, he also distinguished himself by the pass by sending Bouanga towards the goal for the equalization of Hamouma. A bright pass which confirms the extent of the talent of the young Saint-Etienne.
Hamouma in all the right moves
Whether in the heart of the game or in front of the goal, Hamouma will have made the differences by his ease to combine with his teammates. On the lookout for Bouanga’s center-shot to equalize, he could have validated a superb assist for the Gabonese with a little more accuracy, after a no less superb exchange with Khazri (62nd). Economical on its losses of balls (13), it distinguished itself by the quality of its transmissions, almost all successful. An offensive accuracy that had been lacking against Brest.
The flop
Nordin remains in the hard
Already out of the way last week, despite a decisive pressing on Brassier for the opening of Khazri’s score, Nordin can draw up a sensitive assessment at the end of this Sunday at La Mosson. Placed on the right side of the Stéphanois midfielder, he never really weighed in the game, however, it was he who had the good idea to quickly play the free kick bringing the second Loire goal. Behind, he gets a huge opportunity to kill the match, but forgets Bouanga to shoot directly on Omlin (65th). This remains insufficient for a player who had been able to be decisive at the end of last fall.
