This Tuesday evening, Lille qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. On penalties, the Mastiffs took out Olympique de Marseille (1-1, 3-4 at TAB) at the Orange Vélodrome after goals from Haraldsson and Luis Henrique.
23:45 – The Mastiffs create the feat, the summary
A shock that kept all its promises! This Tuesday evening, Olympique de Marseille hosted Lille in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. At the Orange Vélodrome, the two coaches lined up their managers, except for the usual goalkeepers left on the bench. If the Olympians got off to the best start, they often came up against Lille, who were very present tactically. In three minutes, the meeting could have turned irrational. Launched by Hojbjerg on the counter-attack, Mason Greenwood presented himself alone against Vito Mannone before finding the right hand of the Swiss goalkeeper in the 36th minute of play. Three minutes later, Neal Maupay pushed the ball into the back of the net but the goal is refused for a hand. The Olympian staff is furious, starting with Roberto De Zerbi.
When they return from the locker room, the Lille people come back with other intentions. Twenty seconds after the restart, Mitchell Bakker volleyed a ball into the area but his goal was refused for another handball. The match resumes and the Mastiffs are higher up the pitch. Effective pressing which pushes Bruno Génésio’s players to air-condition the Orange Vélodrome. Found behind Cornelius’s back, Jonathan David crosses for Haraldsson who deceives De Lange (0-1, 68th). Until the final whistle, the Marseillais continued the offensive phases. At the end of added time, Luis Henrique moves towards the center and sends a mine into Vito Mannone’s cage to bring the Vélodrome into meltdown. Thanks to this masterpiece, qualification is decided by penalties.
If Lille scored all their shots on goal, Luis Henrique and Jonathan Rowe fell on the gloves of Vito Mannone, imperious throughout the meeting. Lille qualifies for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France where they will meet their next opponent this Thursday evening.
