Not much to eat, Gboho has changed everything

However, the two teams will not indulge in the usual round of observation. From the third minute of play, Zakaria Aboukhlal missed a pass on a counter-attack which could have been devastating. Toulouse will continue with set pieces during the first minutes of play. In the thirteenth minute of play, André Gomes will be at the conclusion of a nice collective movement. The midfielder lights up from afar but sees his attempt pass several good meters from Lucas Chevalier’s goal. At the start of the second quarter of an hour of play, Benjamin André will recover the ball by tackling in his area. The Toulouse residents demand a penalty. Nothing ! Just before the half-hour mark, the first thrill of the evening will take place at the Stade Pierre Mauroy.

From a corner, Thomas Meunier deflects the ball to the near post and sees it pass just above Guillaume Restes’ crossbar. A few moments later, Lille continued to push. Gabriel Gundmundsson sets off in a solitary rush but is caught at the last moment by Rasmus Nicolaisen. In the 39th minute of play, Téfécé opened the scoring. After exceptional work from Yann Gboho on his left side then an intelligent pass back, before an attacker tried his luck but stumbled on a return from Gundmundsson. Zakaria Aboukhlal follows well and finds the net… thanks to the Technology goal-line while Lucas Chevalier once again made an XXL save. During the celebration, Toulouse coach Carles Martinez Novell injured his ankle. The score will not change between now and halftime.

Lille reverses everything in the second

As soon as he returns from the locker room, Téfécé will come very close to making the break. Joshua King presents himself in front of Lucas Chevalier but will lose his duel against the goalkeeper who is having an exceptional start to the season. In the process, Edon Zhegrova will magnificently kick a cross for the head of Jonathan David. The Canadian international is surprisingly unable to get on target. Just before the hour mark, Lille will catch up. Angel Gomes will organize the play on the outskirts of the opposing penalty area before relying on Osame Sahraoui, who will give him a simply delicious ladle. The young English neo-international finished with his left foot and allowed the Pierre Mauroy stadium to exult.

The Violets will get a big opportunity from the start. Joshua King arrives launched against Lucas Chevalier but pushes his ball too much. There was so much better to do for the Haut-Garonnais. Bruno Genesio’s men continue to show a much more interesting face… and will find the net again in the 72nd minute of play. Mitchell Bakker is launched in the depth and will poke his ball in a marvelous way in front of Guillaume Restes. A very classy conclusion for the player loaned by Atalanta Bergamo. The Mastiffs managed the end of the match well but were going to get very scared in the 86th minute of play. On a perfect corner from Vincent Sierro, a Lille defender deflected very close to his post. The score will ultimately not change.
