‘He’s appreciated’ - Lille’s Galtier in awe of Camara display versus Dijon

Christophe Galtier has lavished praises on Aguibou Camara for his notable role in Lille’s 1-0 triumph over Dijon in Wednesday’s French Cup Round of 64 fixture.

The 19-year-old Guinea international was handed his senior appearance for Les Dogues against the Ligue 1 outfit at the Stade Gaston Gerard – leading the frontline alongside USA international Timothy Weah.

He marked his debut with a goal with just 16 minutes into the encounter, finding the net after receiving a pass from Jeremy Pied to beat Benin Republic international Saturnin Allagbe from close range. That effort proved to be the only goal of the keenly-contested encounter as the visiting side qualified for the next round.
