Servette Player Ratings vs Chelsea:
Joel Mall – 8.5
Made numerous saves in the game to keep his side in the tie and also help them win the game. He did not make things easy for the Chelsea forwards, despite the defenders getting eased past.
DEFENDERS:
Keigo Tsunemoto – 7
Kept Mudryk in check and was ready to attack when needed. He made three excellent interceptions but committed the foul that led to Chelsea’s only goal from the penalty spot.
Steve Rouiller – 7
The defender was smart in his positionings on the pitch and was able to stop Chelsea forwards on all occasions. He lost just one of his duels and did not commit a single foul today.
Yoan Severin – 6.5
He was shaky at the back, but luckily, it did not cost them in the match. The defender won just one duel in the match and kept losing possession.
Bradley Mazikou – 7
More involved in attack than defense today. He kept going but just could not get the assist or goal to help his side progress into the next round.
MIDFIELDERS:
Gaël Ondoua – 7
Kept going until the end and was shooting at every chance. However, his shots were all off-target and one even landed near the corner flag.
David Douline – 6.5
Played 85 minutes but never got to command the midfield. He managed just 10 passes and was just ball-watching most of the time.
Timothé Cognat – 7
Another Servette player who kept shooting at all chances. However, he too could not keep any shot on target and never troubled Jorgensen.
Alexis Antunes – 6
Played just over an hour and was hooked off as he could not influence the game. He managed just 8 matches and never got a shot away in the game.
Dereck Kutesa – 7
Got the assist in the match to pull Servette level in the game. However, that was. his best contribution as his only shot on target was saved.
FORWARDS:
Jérémy Guillemenot – 8
Scored the goal in the first half to level things up but was surprisingly taken off just after the hour mark.
SUBSTITUTES:
Miroslav Stevanović – 7.5
Enzo Crivelli – 7
Julian Von Moos – 6
Tiemoko Ouattara – 6
Chelsea Player Ratings vs Servette:
Filip Jørgensen – 5
Should have done a lot better for both goals and was one of the main reasons why Chelsea lost the match. He made just one save in the game but did well in claiming the balls late in the game.
DEFENDERS:
Axel Disasi – 7
Did well in the game and managed to keep his composure in the match. Was the pick of the defenders today and he will be fighting to get into the starting role for the Premier League games too.
Tosin Adarabioyo – 6.5
He was good with the passes but was just not able to do well in stopping the goals. He lost the key duel that led to Servette’s second goal and saw Chelsea lose.
Benoît Badiashile – 6
The Frenchman is just not able to find his feet and was shaky today as well. He did not win any of his tackles but lost just one of his aerial duels.
MIDFIELDERS:
Enzo Fernández – 7
Should not be playing as a lone defensive midfielder as he was getting run past with ease. He was excellent in his passing and created a good chance for Nkunku in the first half.
Renato Veiga – 6.5
Played the full match in the left back-midfield hybrid role but did not manage to impress. He won just one of his duels and was dribbled past twice.
Christopher Nkunku – 8
He was brilliant from start to end today and got the only goal for Chelsea from the spot. He also created chances for his teammates, but they could notr covert them.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 5
Easily one of the worst matches played by a Chelsea player in the last few years. He was not able to make the right decision most of the time and was playing the safe passes.
FORWARDS:
Noni Madueke – 7
Hattrick hero on the weekend but managed just one shot on target today. He could not get the goal needed to help Chelsea win, and was hooked off just after the hour mark.
Mykhaylo Mudryk – 6
Kept trying from the start but was just not able to get the final decision right. Won the penalty for the Blues in the match and that helped them get their lone goal of the game.
Marc Guiu – 6.5
Showed the Chelsea board why they needed another striker in the squad. He was keen on showing his qualities, but just could not get a shot away despite his best efforts.
SUBSTITUTES:
Tyrique George- 6
Moisés Caicedo- 6
Nicolas Jackson – 6
Cole Palmer – 7
