Standout star carries Le Havre to a hard-earned point against Lyon | OneFootball

Rassoul Ndiaye bent in a teasing cross in the 51st minute to spark Le Havre's best spell in a 0-0 draw with Lyon.

That delivery set the tone for a productive burst from midfield, with the hosts inches away when his next whipped ball led to the woodwork being rattled (54.). From there he kept stretching Les Gones with early crosses and direct carries.

After Le Havre were reduced to ten men (55.), Ndiaye shifted gears, tidying up in front of the defence and repeatedly carrying his team up the pitch. His composure under pressure helped the hosts manage territory and tempo against prolonged attacks.

He finished with four accurate crosses from four, two chances created and seven possession regains, a tidy blend of craft and control that underlined why he topped the ratings on the night.

Because he repeatedly found room to deliver from midfield and chose the right moments to drive forward, he unsettled Les Gones' back line and ensured Le Havre controlled the key phases even when a man down.

Next up, Le Havre visit Paris FC, while Les Gones host Celta Vigo in the Europa League.
