Concedes five despite penalty save
Lopes registered three saves and allowed five goals in Sunday's 5-2 loss versus Marseille.
Analysis: Lopes made three saves while allowing five goals during Sunday's 5-2 home defeat to Marseille, facing eight shots on target as the visitors dominated the attacking opportunities. He produced an important first-half stop against Amine Gouiri and initially saved the forward's 60th minute penalty, but Gouiri reacted quickest to convert the rebound and extend Marseille's lead to 3-1. Lopes was subsequently beaten twice more in the closing stages by Amine Harit and Igor Paixao, with Angers' defensive struggles leaving him exposed throughout the defeat.
Joins Angers on two-year deal
Lopes signed with Angers on a two-year contract with an option for a third season, the club announced.
Analysis: Lopes brings considerable experience to Angers after a distinguished career that included 378 Ligue 1 appearances and 123 clean sheets with Lyon, where he established himself as one of the most reliable goalkeepers in French football over more than a decade. The Portuguese international also made 74 European appearances for the Olympians, including a memorable performance against Besiktas where two penalty saves helped his team advance. He was part of the Portugal squad that won Euro 2016 and made his international debut in March 2015. After leaving Lyon, Lopes spent a season and a half at Nantes, adding 49 Ligue 1 appearances to his record before making the move to Anjou. He arrives at Angers with a total of 553 professional appearances including 427 in Ligue 1, giving the club one of the most experienced goalkeepers in the French game as they prepare for life in Ligue 2 next season.
