ZIMBABWE international striker, Tino Kadewere made his second appearance for struggling Olympique Lyon on Saturday as they conceded a late goal in a 0-1 Ligue 1 loss at Brest.  Kadewere was a second half substitute, replacing Diego Moreira in the 52nd minute and was given a rating of 4.8 out of 10, which was the joint lowest for the four substitutes but only bettered by TWO starters, goalkeeper Anthony Lopez (9.4) and Paul Akouokou (5).

Winless Lyon are third from bottom with two draws from six matches and are now under former defender Fabio Grosso, who replaced the sacked Laurent Blanc. It was his first match in charge.  Kadewere’s only other appearance for Lyon this season was the 1-4 defeat at home to PSG on September 3, a result which cost Blanc’s job. He played the first half and was removed at halftime but given a decent rating of 5.6 out of 10, better than seven other starters.
