Among our neighbors, the clash between LOSC and OL opened the 10th day of Ligue 1.
Thomas Meunier et Malick Fofana were at the kick-off of this clash on the pitch of the Stade Pierre-Mauroy between Lille and Lyon. In a game that started strong, Thomas Meunier found the crossbar shortly before the quarter-hour mark. The Red Devil was alone at the penalty spot to take a cross, but his recovery was blocked by Tagliafico and deflected onto the bar.
Former Gant player Jonathan David (17th) finally opened the scoring shortly after, taking advantage of a big error by the OL defense. After a first period dominated by LOSC against a slightly struggling Lyonnais, Thomas Meunier came close to making the break shortly after the break, but his shot missed Perri’s goal.
On the Lille side, Matias Fernandez-Pardo came into play for the last half hour of play. Lille managed their lead but Lyon showed themselves to be more enterprising as the game progressed. And after a goal denied to Maitland-Niles (79th), Malick Fofana equalized in stoppage time. The Belgian took advantage of the work and service of the former Arsenal player before taking his cross with his right foot.
OL struggled to take a point in the North while Lille may have regrets. LOSC still passes Marseille in third place, while Lyon remains fifth.
