3 more minutes
There will be three minutes of added time in this match that the players are eager to finish.
Both teams are dulled
It’s also an early season match and it shows, the players aren’t putting in as much rhythm.

First for Sahraoui
The Lille crowd expects a feat from Zhegrova but her one-two with Gomes doesn’t work! Santos leaves his place to Sahraoui, for his first in the Dogues jersey.
Djiku enters the game
A former Ligue 1 player makes his appearance in place of Krunic. It’s Alexander Djiku, Mourinho plays defensively at the end of this match.
Still 10 minutes in regulation time
Lille will have to wake up to try to win this match! Cabella’s shot goes wide!
L’EGALISATION SUBLIME DE COFFEE SHOP!
Free kick therefore extremely well placed for Kahveci, the house gunner. The guacher rushes, goes over the wall and finds the skylight of Chevalier! He did not move!
A wink from the scorer who has just celebrated like the Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec, silver medalist in the mixed 10m air pistol teams with Turkey.
Alert in front of the Lille surface
Big alert with a good free kick just at the edge of the area for Fener. Kahveci is cut down by Alexsandro who had a very close call on this shot.
Dzeko runs into the void
Poor Edin Dzeko is not spoiled for good ball in this second period. He runs into the void the Bosnian veteran.
Zhegrova tries to get into action
Oh what a good exit from Alexsandro who gives it to Gomes! The ball arrives on Zhegrova who looks for the shooting position but doesn’t find it!
The match lacks rhythm
Another problem and a player on the ground, this time captain Benjamin André. He is having difficulty getting back into his place.

Double change for Bruno Genesio with the introduction of Bayo and Zhegrova! Haraldsson and David come off.
Saint-Maximin calls for change
After a missed pass, Allan Saint-Maximin asks his coach for a change. Injury or fatigue?

Once again, things are going too fast for Fenerbahçe with Tiago Santos’ overflow! He waits until the last moment to cross to Haraldsson who slams a diving header! It’s caught by Livakovic!
Alexsandro still affected
This time, the match is over for Alexsandro who has to leave his place after a knee injury… And in fact no, he takes his place back after being treated!
Alexsandro gets treatment

CHEVALIER CREATES THE WALL FACING SAINT MAXIMIN!
Ball lost by Angel Gomes in front of his area and Allan Saint-Maximin is close to equalizing! A control, a hook and a left-footed shot from a tight angle forces Chevalier to make a reflex save!
HERE WE GO AGAIN!
Lille have 45 minutes left to put the nail in the coffin against Fenerbahçe (1-0) and make the return match much more peaceful!
And no changes at half-time on either side!
LILLE TAKES THE LEAD AT HALF-TIME!
It’s half-time in Valenciennes! Losc leads 1-0 against Fenerbahçe in this first half of the 3rd preliminary round of Champions League qualifying. More enterprising and therefore more dangerous, the Dogues had a very solid first 45 minutes with many chances… and therefore a goal from Tiago Santos who took advantage of a handball by Livakovic!
Double dose of yellow
Kadioglu and Santos are yellow-carded before the break for a Judo-style altercation.
3 more minutes
Logically, there will be 3 minutes of additional time with the many players remaining on the ground during this first half.
DAVID MISSED THE UNMISSABLE!
Another corner for Losc and Angel Gomes. The ball is deflected to the far post for David who controls but misses his right-footed volley two meters from the goal! WHAT A HUGE CHANCE!
Things are going well in Lille

Dzeko too short of the head
Corner for Fenerbahçe who manage to pass on the sides. Tadic plays it for two but the cross is too strong for Dzeko’s header!
CHEVALIER WINS HIS DUEL WITH DZEKO!
Losc had a very close call and can thank Lucas Chevalier! Gomes loses a ball in the middle and Dzeko is immediately launched! He plays a duel but hits Chevalier in the chest who cuts off all the angles!
Cabella misses his corner
Corner for Losc taken by Cabella… The Lille number 10 takes off but finds no one.
Turks still so harmless
For the moment, José Mourinho’s men have not shown much and continue to suffer the attacks from Lille.

Diakité keeps a close eye on things
Twice, Krunic crosses but sees the ball returned by Diakité, very well placed on these balls. Fortunately, Dzeko is just behind.
Alexsandro makes his size speak

LOSC remembers 2010 fondly
LOSC has already faced Fenerbahçe in 2009-2010 with a Europa League round of 16. Lille won 2-1 in the first leg at the Stadium, thanks to goals from Florent Balmont and Pierre-Alain Frau. Rudi Garcia’s men managed to snatch their qualification a week later in Istanbul (1-1), thanks to a goal on the gong from Adil Rami.
Fener has already passed a round
If the Dogues will start their European campaign with this 3rd preliminary round, the Turks have already had to go through one round (2nd preliminary round). José Mourinhos’ players eliminated FC Lugano. Victorious (3-4) in the first leg in Switzerland, they won 2-1 in the return leg at home.
Hello and welcome everyone to this live
The Champions League is back! While the new group stage will start in September, France could have four clubs qualified.
But to join PSG, Brest and Monaco, Lille must pass two qualifying rounds and start by eliminating Fenerbahçe of José Mourinho, Edin Dzeko and Dusan Tadic.
No easy task. And before the return match in the Istanbul cauldron, Lille will welcome the Turks from Fener to Valenciennes (due to the 2024 Olympic Games in Lille) this Tuesday evening. Kick-off at 8:30 p.m. on BFM Lille, but also on the RMC Sport Twitch channel.
