When the opponent has physical superiority, athleticism, constantly uses pressure, pressure, a lot of martial arts, it becomes difficult for the Ukrainian. Analytical portals gave Viktor one of the lowest ratings in the Girona squad - 10 losses, two fights won, one foul, 25 touches of the ball, almost 40 per cent of inaccurate passes.
Tsygankov's direct counterpart, left-back Acuña, was the highest rated player in Sevilla's squad. The left-back had the most opportunities at Girona's goal. Not only did Vitya lose to the Argentine in attack and give the Spaniard a lot of freedom in defence, but he could do nothing about the physics of Gueye (full-back) and Goodell (left centre-back).
Assist? He just got the situation right," Serhiy wrote on Facebook.
