Jonuts Radu, a big Ligue 1 fixture for Auxerre – He received one of the highest marks

An undisputed player since his move to Auxerre, Jonuts Radu had another good performance in goal for the home side and his intervention helped Lyon win 2-1.

The 25-year-old Romanian goalkeeper made several saves when the score was 0:0, but could not intervene in the goal scored by Moussa Dembele (min. 36).

However, his side turned the tide in the second half, managing to score twice in just two minutes, thanks to Gaetan Perrin (51st minute, penalty) and Jubal (53rd minute).

The visitors could have restored the tie late in the game through Lukeba, but the Lyon man was superbly stopped by Ionuc Radu.

Maxifoot.fr journalists gave Jonuts Rad 6 points, one of the highest in his team.

“Diomande’s decisive header, followed by a warning for Tagliafico’s shot, the keeper had to bow to Dembele’s performance. In the end, he had nothing to do as Lyon were not dangerous, even after Auxerre’s two goals.” – they wrote.

Only goalscorers Perrin and Zubal received a higher rating than the Romanian goalkeeper (7).
