Jean-Victor Makengo
LOR
Scores in loss
Makengo scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Troyes.
Analysis: Makengo provided Lorient's only moment of quality going forward, driving a shot from outside the box across goal to the right side that caught a deflection on its way in. However, his performance was overshadowed by the penalty he conceded, which proved costly in a one-goal defeat. His next fixture against Lens, who sit seventh in the standings, will be an opportunity to contribute more consistently as Lorient look to find their footing in Ligue 1.
Records three shots
Makengo registered three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Nice.
Analysis: Makengo was given a starting role for Lorient on opening day and played the full 90 in an attacking midfielder role. He would take three shots and put one on target while also adding one cross. He hopes his starting role leads to more goal contributions this campaign, as he only earned four goals and two assists in 31 appearances during the 2025/26 season.
Scores goal
Makengo scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 victory versus Metz. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 42nd minute.
Analysis: The goal marks Makengo's first since Feb. 15. After just two goals across his previous four Ligue 1 seasons, he has doubled the scoring tally this season with four scored across 30 appearances.
