The 16th day of Ligue 1 continues its progress and after the great victory of ASSE on its lawn against the Stade de Reims, we headed to the north of France for a duel of extremes between Lille, declared competitor for the podium, and FC Nantes, which is fighting not to go down to Ligue 2. Dominant during the first act, the Mastiffs pushed and ended up cracking Anthony Lopes, the new Canaries goalkeeper who arrived this week from Olympique Lyonnais.
Les Dogues hot
Well placed after a shot from Rémy Cabella was pushed back by the crossbar, Gabriel Gudmunsson volleyed from the left to open the scoring before the break (40th, 1-0). Lille certainly thought they had done the hardest part by breaking the Nantes barrier, but they were surprised. Matthis Abline was quick to convert a penalty obtained by Mostafa Mohamed after a foul by Bafodé Diakité (74th, 1-1). And despite a lot of pressure until the final whistle, Lille failed to find the fault again. The two teams part with a 1-1 draw which especially delights Antoine Kombouaré’s men.
