Clinton Mata
33-Year-Old
Lyon
Ligue 1
Logs double-digit clearances in win
Mata made four tackles (two won), 14 clearances and one interception while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's 1-0 win over Nantes.
ANALYSIS
Mata delivered one of his sharpest outings of the season, dominating his box with a season high in clearances to steady Lyon during several frantic spells. His blend of tackling, emergency defending and consistent positioning created an unusually strong peripheral floor for a center-back in a match where Lyon often absorbed pressure. While he offers little in the way of end product, this kind of workload can spike when Lyon protect narrow leads.
