Unseen hero anchors Angers at Paris FC

Arcus Carlens set the tone in the sixth minute by winning a free-kick under pressure, as Angers drew 0-0 at Paris FC.

Operating at right back in a 4-2-3-1, Carlens mixed timing and bite, making two interceptions and winning two aerial duels to steady the visitors' flank.

His use of the ball kept Angers progressing. He completed 38 of 45 passes and produced five successful final third passes, offering a regular outlet down the right.

He then stepped forward late, latching onto Lilian Raolisoa's pass and driving a right-footed effort just wide from outside the box (89.).

Across the tie he added one tackle won, four possessions regained, one accurate cross from three and 73 touches, underlining a clean, balanced display at both ends.

Angers host Metz next. Paris FC welcome Marseille next.
