In fine form, Amine Gouiri is once again your Crédit Agricole PCA Aiglon of the Match for Sunday’s scoreless draw away to Bordeaux. With 44% of the votes, the forward finished ahead of Walter Benitez (32.8%) and Jordan Lotomba (15.2%) in the polling.

Like last week against Paris, Le Gym looked to attack in Bordeaux, creating numerous scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, like last week, Le Gym failed to find the back of the opposition net, despite all the best intentions. A focus point on the left-side of the attack, and excellent at exploiting small spaces, Amine Gouiri is, like last week, your Nice man of the match. Always looking to get on the ball (72 possessions), accurate (80% successful passes), No.11 almost tipped the scales in favour of Les Rouge et Noir at the end of the match.

In the 89th minute, when he had switched to the right wing, he still had the energy to break forward and unleash a powerful shot that cannoned off the bar. It was the third time Le Gym hit the post in the game. Three times off the woodwork; the second most for a Nice side in a single match in the last 15 years since they hit the woodwork four times against Lyon on 20 May 2012.

While Lady Luck shunned Les Aiglons on Sunday in attack, at the other end, Walter Benitez was once again immense in goal and ensured his side went home with at least a share of the spoils. Omnipresent, the Argentina ace made 5 crucial saves to claim his second clean sheet of the season. A perfect illustration of the saying that in football, "when you can't win a match, you have to know not to lose it."

Finally, Jordan Lotomba completed the top three. The Switzerland U-21 international, who plays in the right-hand side of the Côte d'Azur defence, showed great discipline and strength and got forward as often as possible to support the attack and cross down the wing.
