Yvan Neyou - Scores in loss to Atletico Madrid Neyou Noupa scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 loss against Atletico Madrid.

Impact The central midfielder took advantage of a clever through ball fom Dani Raba to fire an impossible shot into the roof of the net and past Jan Oblak. Neyou should remain a regular for Leganes, but given the defensive-minded nature of this game, he might remain more focused on that side of the ball, particularly since Leganes have looked poor into the attacking phase this season.

This was Raba's first assist, and first goal contribution, of the season.
