One of the architects of this victory is undoubtedly Achraf Hakimi, whose performance has attracted the attention of the sports press.

Footmercato gave Hakimi a score of 7/10, emphasizing his key role on his flank, where he shone with his constant offensive presence and his duels with Tanguy Coulibaly. He could have turned into a decisive passer on several occasions, notably for Lee, Kolo Muani and Vitinha, without some opposing interventions. His ability to maintain constant offensive pressure until the end of the match, including a notable opportunity for Zaïre-Emery, is particularly noteworthy.

Le Parisien, with a score of 6/10, focuses on his involvement in the duels and his role in the Parisians’ second goal, a sign of his direct impact on the match result. Despite promising runs, the newspaper notes that Hakimi did not always materialize his initiatives.

Maxifoot, aligned with Footmercato with a score of 7/10, highlights Hakimi’s exceptional performance in the first half, contributing notably to the team’s second goal. His presence was less evident thereafter, but he nevertheless played a key role in stabilizing the defense against Montpellier’s attempts.

90mn.com and Parisfans, each giving him a 7/10, recognize his offensive activity and his speed, disruptive elements for Montpellier’s defense. They particularly note his involvement in the second goal and his significant contribution during the first half.

Finally, hommedumatch offers a slightly different perspective with a score of 6/10, acknowledging his tendency to attack and his contribution to the game, while pointing out some weaknesses in his decision-making and his connection with his teammates.
