Sometimes, we wonder who rates and what the scale is. Yet, L’Equipe has a grid for its ratings. We learn that Vitinha had a “good match.” He shines, sometimes in the shadows, but he knows how to emerge from them. His assist, his goal, his duels won, his successful passes, his choices. For the rest, the ratings are fairly consistent. Doué was tremendous. Nuno Mendes continues to impress as well.
