Koffi Franck Kouao
27-Year-Old
Metz
Ligue 1
Two goal contributions in loss
Kouao scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Lyon. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 72nd minute.
ANALYSIS
Kouao punished a loose Lyon pass on Sunday by racing clear and rolling the ball home for his first Metz goal, briefly giving the hosts belief in the middle of the first half. He remained adventurous on the right, consistently looking to attack space whenever Metz could transition quickly, and he found Habib Diallo in the 64th minute to make it 4-2. That wasn't enough for the Grenats, who remain last in the standings and continue to struggle despite the arrival of new coach Benoit Tavenot.
