Mamadou Diop

ANALYSIS
Diop racked up five saves in Friday's 3-1 Ligue 1 defeat at Lyon, twice denying Lois Openda, including a shot that grazed the top corner and a header from the center of the box, before being beaten by Felix Bacher's 28th minute header, Zachary Athekame's low finish in the 31st minute and Ernest Nuamah's 53rd minute strike. The goalkeeper helped keep Auxerre within striking distance at 2-0 with several key stops during a dominant first-half spell from Lyon, but he could not keep the hosts from adding to their lead after the break. Auxerre remain winless through their opening three Ligue 1 matches of the season following Friday's defeat.
