Jonathan Mensah and Rabiu Mohammed both saw full time action in Evianââ¬â¢s 1-1 draw of their Ligue 1 opener against Sochaux.
Both Ghanaians played key roles in the match played on Friday night.
While reports are rife Rabiu who was perhaps Ghanaââ¬â¢s most improved player last season is on his way out of the French club, Mensah looks set to be handed more first team opportunities this term.
A combination of injuries and poor form robbed the central defender of a regular place in Pascal Duprazââ¬â¢s team last season.
Mensahââ¬â¢s full time appearance on the opening day of the French Ligue 1 season however gives a massive indication on the key role he is to play this term for the Roses.
Evian had taken a 4th minute lead through Frabrice Ehret to give the home crowd something to cheer about.
Their hard works in the first half were however undone by a 54th minute equalizer from Roy Contount.
The game failed to produce anymore goals as both sides finished the game with a goal and a point apiece.
