Lille strolls against Brest

This Friday evening, start of the 14th day of Ligue 1 with a poster between LOSC and Brest. At home, the Dogues had the opportunity to come back to the level of OM and Monaco if successful. This required the defeat of a Brest team, stuck in the soft underbelly of the ranking. Bruno Genesio decided in this match to trust his attacking quartet David, Haraldsson, Fernandez-Pardo and Zhegrova. And the Lille attack did not take long to hurt Brest very badly in this meeting.

Jonathan David only needed 5 minutes to open the scoring in this match. He calmly transformed a penalty obtained by André after a clash with defender Le Cardinal. The Canadian scored his 100th goal in the colors of LOSC, becoming the third top scorer in the club's history behind André Strappe (134 goals) and Jean Baratte (221 goals). He came to reward the great domination of his people. A domination which lasted for almost the entire first act as Brest seemed to suffer from the Lille waves. On fire at the start of the match, the Zhegrova-David duo gave the Brest defense a nightmare. David was once again decisive before the break. After beating Le Cardinal in the tough, he offered a cake to Hakon Arnar Haraldsson for the break goal (2-0, 44th).

Jonathan David scores a double

When we returned from the locker room, Brest came back with a different face. And Eric Roy's team was quickly rewarded since on a quick counterattack, it was Ludovic Ajorque who reduced the gap (1-2, 48th). He took advantage of good work from Camara to cross his shot and deceive Chevalier. Above all, this goal completely revived the interest of this meeting. And Brest clearly regained the upper hand over a more cautious Lille, who were beginning to doubt. But the Brestois each time lacked precision in the last gesture (52nd, 59th). So LOSC took advantage of it.

Shortly after the hour mark, it was once again Jonathan David who punished Brest at the best of times. After a long shot from Zhegrova was repelled by Bizot, David threw himself with a tackle to push the ball into the back of the net. A goal which therefore allowed him to score his 101st goal with LOSC but also to become the top scorer in Ligue 1 this season with 11 goals (while waiting for Barcola and PSG against Auxerre this evening). The score won't move after that. Lille therefore moves up to 4th place in the ranking with the same number of points as OM and Monaco. For its part, Brest remains in the soft underbelly in 11th place while waiting for the other matches of the weekend.
