Ismaila Sarr made a late appearance as Crystal Palace played out a goalless draw with Leeds at Elland Road.

The Senegal international entered in the 82nd minute and received a 6.5 match rating, but his involvement was too limited for the rating to carry significant analytical weight.

Sarr 🇸🇳 — Limited Opportunity

Sarr recorded only:

2 touches | 2/2 passes | 0.01 xA

Both passes were completed in the opposition half.

There was little opportunity for Sarr to establish himself in possession, but his physical data shows the intensity of his short cameo.

He covered 1.8km, made three sprints and reached a top speed of 30.5 km/h.

His movement included:

0.29km running | 0.12km high-speed running | 0.07km sprinting

With only two touches, however, there is not enough possession volume to make a meaningful assessment of his attacking performance.

Deduction Verdict

Ismaila Sarr 🇸🇳 — 6.5*

Sarr's 6.5 rating should be viewed in context.

He completed both of his passes and contributed physically after entering late, but two touches provide too small a sample to draw broader conclusions about his performance.

For Deduction's Round 5 tracking, this is therefore better recorded as a limited late cameo rather than a significant performance.

Final Score

Leeds 0–0 Crystal Palace

African Player Rating

Sarr was introduced too late to materially shape the contest, but his appearance keeps his Round 5 participation on Deduction's African Premier League tracker.
