LOSC comes up against Nantes and misses getting on the podium

The Canaries do it again at the Parc des Princes! Returning to Nantes with a courageous point obtained against Paris Saint-Germain on November 30 (1-1), Antoine Kombouaré's players did it again this Saturday, January 4, as part of the 16th day of Ligue 1. This this time, it was at the Decathlon Arena that the new partners of Anthony Lopes, lined up for the first time a few days after his arrival from Olympique Lyonnais, thwarted the plans of their opponent, in this case those of LOSC. However, the northern club seemed to have done the hardest part just before the break when Gabriel Gudmundsson released his team. Faced with a regrouped Nantes block, Lille relied on its left side to open the scoring (41st). With a volley from the right, the Swede perfectly followed a curling shot on the Nantes bar from Rémy Cabella.

A first warning

Very uninspired, like a transparent Jonathan David, the northern club received a first warning upon returning from the locker room, with the equalizer from Ignatius Ganago, present to catapult the ball into the Lille nets (48th). A goal ultimately refused for an offside position by Lepenant before the goal. Enough to give hope to the Canaries, rewarded for their self-sacrifice by a penalty obtained by Mohamed after a foul by Diakité in the area. An offering converted by Mathis Abline straight away (70th, 1-1). Unable to win the match without being put in danger, LOSC loses a big opportunity to put pressure on its competitors. If successful, Lille could actually have come back to the level of points (30) from Marseille (2nd) and Monaco (3rd) and even moved into third position, on the podium. Lack. For its part, Nantes (15th, 15 pts) brings back a valuable point from the Decathlon Arena. Next meeting with the AS Monaco reception, another big piece, next Friday at La Beaujoire (7 p.m.). The same day but two hours later, Lille will be at Auxerre (9 p.m.).
