Buts: Gudmundsson (41e) for Lille // Abline (70eSP) for Nantes
And eighteen meetings!
On the sixteenth day of Ligue 1, Lille continued its unbeaten run in all competitions. But unfortunately for him, Losc did not manage to do better than a draw and must wait at the foot of the podium (fourth, two lengths behind Olympique de Marseille and Monaco). Because even behind, Nantes found the strength to come back into the match and recover a point. Fifteenth with two units ahead of Angers and three over Le Havre (not forgetting one less match to play), the Canaries remain in great danger since they could fall into the relegation zone depending on the other matches of the weekend . The locals, who opened the scoring thanks to a goal from Gabriel Gudmundsson on the lookout for a crossbar hit by Rémy Cabella shortly before the break, nevertheless believed that this achievement would be enough to secure the victory.
Abline, him again
Except that in the second act, the visitors clearly accelerated and were sharper offensively: if Ignatius Ganago’s equalizer was refused for an offside by Johann Lepenant, Matthis Abline thus put the two teams on the same page level by converting a penalty which punished a foul by Bafodé Diakité on Mostafa Mohamed in the penalty area. The Mastiffs can therefore regret their missed opportunities (bad placement by Jonathan David, save by Anthony Lopes in front of Benjamin André, attempt by Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, strikes from Osame Sahraoui and Ngal’ayel Mukau, off-target shots from Cabella… ), while Antoine Kombouaré’s gang is doing rather well (even if they also had a few opportunities, notably through Abline and Lepenant).
Watch out for the coach’s press conference…
