Lille turned the game around to win (2-1) on home soil against OGC Nice. Find out what pleased…and displeased the editorial staff.
Invincible Lille
And 21, 21 consecutive matches in all competitions for LOSC. Since the setback on the first day of the Champions League against Sporting (2-0), the Mastiffs have never lost a single match. Still trailing, the locals were able to turn the match around to remain undefeated and even win three important points to climb onto the podium. Perfect evening.
Sahrawi changed everything
Without solutions throughout the first period, Bruno Genesio made THE decisive change. The Moroccan replaced an uninspired Remy Cabella to change the course of the match. Lightning passes, sharp dribbles, the winger who arrived this summer from Heerenveen showed his class to thwart the Nice defense. If he did not offer himself an assist, on the two goals, he is at the start of the action.
Knight (again) decisive
He responds to the distant duel for the honorary title of best goalkeeper in Ligue 1 with Marseille goalkeeper Rulli. Cornered at the start of the match, the last bastion of the Mastiffs showed his qualities. Laborde from the first moments of the match thought he would shake the nets but came across a French international ready to shine (3rd). 10 minutes later, he intervened again with a superb reflex to prevent the Aiglons from opening the score (13th). Centerpiece of the Lille fortress, the Northerners will always be able to count on him for this second part of the season.
-FLOPS
Return to the infirmary
He thought he would be rid of it in 2025. Piling up injuries since the start of the season, Nice gradually saw its players leave the infirmary. From the fifth minute of play, the Aiglons’ old demons resurfaced. On a trivial action, Pablo Rosario collapsed. Quickly, the Dutchman demanded a change, forcing Tanguy Ndombélé, who had not fully recovered from his physical problems, to remove his bib to enter the pitch. New blow for Nice, Rosario could miss several weeks of competition.
Nice waste
Like Monaco against Montpellier earlier, the Aiglons dominated the first part of the match without managing to widen the gap. If through persistence, Sofiane Diop found the net (29th), Franck Haise’s men had difficulty completing their actions. The fault lies in a lack of efficiency in front of goal and a lot of waste in transmissions. On an upward slope in the championship, the OGCN misses a great opportunity to climb onto the podium and ends a series of invincibility of more than a month in Ligue 1.
