Intense Showdown between Lille and Olimpjia Ljubljana: Match Analysis and Highlights

2023-09-20 15:45:25

Good intervention from Diakité (1-0)

Who steals the ball from the feet of Portuguese striker Rui Pedro. As in the first period, Lille have more than 60% possession but are sterile in attack…

Cavaleiro gives up his place (1-0)

For the entry of Rémy Cabella. In the ranks of the Slovenes, Bristric is replaced by Schwaizer at the forefront of the Olimpjia Ljubljana attack.

André too predictable (1-0)

The Lille team move forward to create a new goal situation on the outskirts of the penalty area. But Captain André’s full-axis attempt lacks power.

Upcoming coaching for Lille (1-0)

Fonseca has seen his players become less sharp since returning from the locker room and is preparing to make new changes with the upcoming entry of Remy Cabella…

LOSC decreases in intensity (1-0)

Jo David certainly continues to harvest in attack, but Lille are increasingly disrupted in their own half. Paulo Fonseca’s men were not immune to a comeback from Olimpjia Ljubljana…

First change for the Slovenes (1-0)

With the exit from Posavec and the entrance from Fadida.

Premier shot for Olimpjia Ljubljana (1-0) !

Bristric responds to David by also shooting well above the opposing cage! In his defense, the Slovenian striker was hampered by the Mastiffs’ defense when launching his powerful right-footed shot.

Three points for David (1-0)

The Canadian is well found by his teammates but sorely lacks the technical accuracy to double the lead. Served by Yazici in the area, his new attempt goes well above the crossbar of the Slovenian goalkeeper.

Yellow card for Gomes (1-0)

Gomes receives a yellow card, the first for Les Mastiffs in the match.

Deflected shot from Cavaleiro (1-0)

Long-range attempt from the Portuguese, repelled by the Slovenian defense. LOSC always shows good intentions in front of its public to score the break goal!

Good defense of Lille (1-0)

Who did not let the Slovenes put their game in place when they had returned to occupy the Mastiffs’ half of the field.

Long pass to Haraldsson (1-0)

As in the first act, Lille multiplies long passes forward to try to find Jo David or Haraldsson. This time, the young Icelandic striker is too close to get back in front of Vidovsek.

Change in the LOSC XI (1-0)

Zhegrova and Tiago Santos are replaced by Yazici and Alexsandro at the break!

It’s the recovery at Pierre-Mauroy (1-0)!

LOSC kicks off the second half, here we go once more!

Lille logically leads at the break (1-0)

It’s half-time at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, LOSC takes the lead thanks to a goal from Jonathan David on a penalty (1-0)! A deserved goal given the numerous chances that the Mastiffs created in the first act. Paulo Fonseca’s men lacked realism for a long time until the Canadian striker released his team five minutes from the end of the first period. Muzzled in attack, Olimpjia Ljubljana was unable to express itself but remained in contact with Lille.

Birstic slides into the surface (1-0)

While the Olimpjia Ljubljana striker had got rid of Diakité, he slipped with his back to goal in the penalty area and lost possession… ammunition blown by the Slovenes. In the process, Rui Pedro misses his delivery towards Motika…

Four minutes of added time in Lille (1-0)

Four more minutes in this first act!

David opens the scoring with a penalty (1-0)!

A penalty taken with full composure by Jonathan David who opens his right foot and wrong-foots Vidovsek. The striker opens his counter in the Conference League and that of the Dogues (1-0)!

Penalty for LOSC!

Zhegrova provokes her opponent on her right wing then serves Haraldsson who came launched into the area. Jostled by Doffo, the Icelander collapses to the ground! The referee does not hesitate and whistles a penalty!

Yellow also for captain Elsnik (0-0)

For a late tackle on Jo David.

Yellow card for Rui Pedro (0-0)

Late on Tiago Santos, the Portuguese striker severely tackles the Lille player who seems to have been hit in the ankle during the action.

The Slovenes no longer see the ball… (0-0)

After a few attempts to overrun the sides, Olimpjia Ljubjana’s offensives are now blocked by effective pressing from Lille.

New fleeing header from David (0-0)!

Another scoring opportunity missed by the Mastiffs striker! Zhegrova adjusts a very nice cross towards David. At the far post, the attacker is off target!

Head stung by David (0-0)!

On a corner taken from the right to the left, Cavaleiro sends a cross towards Jonathan David who flies into the air but crosses his head a little too much… Too bad, Vidovsek was beaten!

Haraldsson close to opening the score (0-0)!

The 20-year-old Icelandic came very close to freeing the Mastiffs! Served by David at the penalty spot, Haraldsson loses his control!

Lille narrowly misses (0-0)

To find the fault and bend the Slovenian defense. Paulo Fonseca’s men created numerous chances but knitted in the area…

Long-distance attempt of Zhegrova (0-0)

Shifted by André to the right, Zhegrova adjusts a low left-footed shot which, despite the rebound, does not worry the Slovenian goalkeeper well in place.

LOSC controls the start of the match (0-0)

The Mastiffs often pass from the sides to create the gap and use a lot of transervales forward to launch Jo David. Like this long pass from Umiti for the Canadian, too short to resume.

The anger of Lille supporters once morest the match schedule

“4:30 p.m…. seriously?”, can we read on a banner displayed in the stands of Pierre-Mauroy.

Jo David finds the post (0-0)!

Lille continues to be dangerous in this first quarter of an hour. This time, Jonathan David is found following a long diagonal behind the Slovenian defense. The Candien accelerates and arms in a tight angle on the right side. His shot crashes into the post!

Haraldsson bute sur Vidovsek! (0-0)

Superb backheel in the area from Gomes for David who shifts the young Swedish striker. But Haraldsson’s attempt was too crushed to worry the Slovenian goalkeeper. Already the second shot on target for the Mastiffs!

Lille loses the ball, Ljubljana goes on the counter (0-0)

On the edge of the area, Sualehe adjusts a pass behind the Lille defense towards Rui Pedro who did not follow the movement. First alert without consequences for Paulo Fonseca’s players.

Corner for the Dogues (0-0)

The set piece doesn’t do anything but Lille is putting some intensity into the start of the match!

Jo David’s first shot! (0-0)

Served by Cavaleiro at the entrance to the area, the Canadian striker gets back on his right foot and fires a powerful shot, pushed back for a corner by Vidovsek! The Slovenian goalkeeper was on the trajectory.

It’s off between Lille and Ljubljana (0-0)!

The Slovenians kick off this first day of Group A, let’s go to Pierre-Mauroy!

Kind draw for Lille

In Group A, well within their reach, the Mastiffs will cross swords with the Faroese from Klaksvik and the Slovaks from Bratislava.

Lille’s starting XI:

Midfielders Yazici and Cabella, and nugget Yoro (scorer once morest Rennes last weekend) are relegated to the substitutes’ bench. At the forefront of the Mastiffs’ attack, Jonathan David will be supported by Haraldsson and Zhegrova in the corridors and Cavaleiro in the center. At the back, French international Samuel Umtiti makes his second start.

Rain of goals for LOSC once morest the Slovenian champion?

Fifth in Ligue 1 last season, LOSC had to work hard to beat the Croatians of Rijeka (3-2 on aggregate) and qualify for the C4 group stage. Not the most prestigious European competition, but “a chance to win a trophy” recalled Jonathan David, savior in the play-offs. Thanks to their victories once morest Nantes (2-0) and Montpellier (1-0) this season, the Mastiffs remain on 11 consecutive wins at home and have been undefeated for more than a year at Pierre-Mauroy. Opposite, the Slovenes won their championship last season with a place in the Champions League play-offs at stake. But their defeats once morest Galatasaray (0-4 cumulative defeat) and Qarabag (1-3 cumulative defeat) in C1 and C3 dropped them to C4. In the new year, Olimpjia Ljubjana has gleaned 5 victories for 2 defeats and occupies 2nd place in the championship.
