It was a night of ordinary administration for Mike Maignan in the super match between France and Italy, although the numbers tell of an evening in which the trans Alpine goalkeeper had to get his hands dirty just enough, without particularly shining in the build up from the back.

With 31 total touches in ninety minutes, the Milan right back managed possession in his own half to start the play, recording 21 accurate passes out of 26 attempted (81%), with an excellent 91% accuracy in short passes and defensive clearances (21/23). His vertical thrust was less effective: no completed passes in the opponent’s half (0/3) and a 44% accuracy on the nine long balls attempted. Regarding high balls, he had zero successful claims, two successful exits out of two attempts, and one total save.

In goal, the evening did not present particular dangers for the Bleus’ number one. Maignan recorded only one total save, coming directly from an offensive inside the penalty area. The expected goals prevented figure stands at -0.22, including Moise Kean’s shot in the 9th minute, where the attacker’s shortcomings outweigh the goalkeeper’s merits.

No extraordinary work was seen on high balls or high exits, where the goalkeeper closed at zero, while two exits succeeded out of two attempts and zero punches were recorded. It was a performance of absolute sobriety and control for Maignan, who focused on the basics, guiding the trans Alpine backline with his usual reliability, albeit without leaving a mark in the advanced setting phase.
