Lille ahead of Juventus at the break, Monaco held to a draw in Bologna

The French clubs were scared… but are doing well in this first part of the evening. Lille currently hosts Juventus Turin as part of the fourth day of the regular phase of the Champions League. LOSC leads by the smallest of margins thanks to the inevitable Jonathan David. Meanwhile, AS Monaco travels to Bologna and is held in draw after the first 45 minutes of play.

Lille achieving a new feat

LOSC will put in place a lot of pressure from the start of the game. In the thirteenth minute of play, Juventus Turin will offer themselves the first big opportunity of the game. Launched on the edge of offside, Dusan Vlahovic appears in front of Lucas Chevalier and strikes with first intention from the left. This flirts with the French post. In the 23rd minute of play, the Old Lady thought about opening the score before being cooled by an illegal position. Served behind by Vlahovic, Koopmeiners concludes from close range. The Serbian was, however, in an offside position. In the process, Lille will… open the score! After a ball lost by Conceiçao, the Mastiffs go on a counterattack. Edon Zhegrova defeats several opponents before magnificently throwing Jonathan David, who adjusts the Turin goalkeeper. In the 34th minute of play, Lucas Chevalier will disgust Vlahovic! In the 41st minute of play, Koopmeiners found the net again… but Kenan Yildiz, the decisive passer in the action, was behind the northern defensive line. LOSC leads well at half-time by the smallest of margins.

Monaco stumbles on Bologna at the break

Despite a pitch that is far from ideal in Italy, Bologna will offer themselves the first opportunity of the game. In the tenth minute of play, Wilfried Singo misplayed a ball release by restarting full axis. The ball arrives at Miranda in the area, who immediately picks up. It goes just over the French crossbar. AS Monaco will quickly respond but Breel Embolo will see his attempt end on the opposing post. A few seconds later, the locals will move forward. Fabbian will, however, be countered at the last moment by Christian Mawissa. In the 19th minute of play, Wilfried Singo will fly higher than everyone from a corner and will think to open the score. The central defender will, however, be caught by the VAR for having fouled Skorupski. The pace will then begin to drop, with a club from the Principality above its evening opponent. Without success for the moment, since the two teams return to the locker room with a goalless draw.
