7th day of Ligue 1
Pierre-Mauroy Stadium
Goals: Angel Gomes (57th), Bakker (72nd) for LOSC; Aboukhlal (39th) for TFC
Three days after its historic feat against Real Madrid, Lille continued its momentum in Ligue 1 by winning this Saturday evening against Toulouse (2-1).
The LOSC players may have had their heads in the stars when the match against TFC kicked off, but the visitors quickly brought Bruno Genesio’s team back to their senses. Indeed, dominant, Toulouse logically opened the scoring with Aboukhlal just before the break (0-1, 39th). And without a Knight of the great evenings, the visitors came close to doubling the lead, the Lille goalkeeper pushing away with a firm hand a ball at the post (50th. This had the merit of waking up the players from LOSC, who would first equalize with a superb action concluded by Angel Gomes, who entered after the break in place of Bouaddi (1-1, 57th).
Then it was Bakker who gave his team the advantage after a very long VAR session to find out if the former PSG player was offside, then if there was a foul on Sidibé at the start of the action. Both answers being negative, Clément Turpin could validate the goal (2-1, 72nd). The TFC tried to come back to the score, but Lille held on and pocketed three precious points, since they allowed them to come back one length behind Olympique de Marseille. On the Toulouse side, the signals turn red, since the TFC is now 16th when entering the international break.
