IT’S OVER IN LILLE, LOSC WINS 2-0
Lille consolidates their 4th place and makes ground on Nice, beaten this weekend. LOSC was hot, Lucas Chevalier saved two penalties and made the difference in added time in the first period, thanks to Yazici and David.
Jallow tries from afar
After a nice dribble on Bouaddi, he slips at the moment of his shot, off target.
Camara replaced by N’Guessan
The Metz midfielder cannot finish the match, he gives up his place.
Camara on the ground
He was injured following contact with Cabella. The Lille player, while trying to intervene, hit him at high speed.
Zhegrova and David replaced
Ferrah and Bouaddi come into play.
CABELLA AGAIN!
The Lille leader makes a festival, combines with David in the area but does not hit and tries to find the Canadian. The defense managed to intervene and push back.
LOSC starts to push once more
Lille is trying to go for 3-0 at the end of the match.
Cabella hits the near post!
LOSC had created a good gap with a good deviation from David. Gomes then tries to dribble into the area before finding Cabella, whose shot is caught by Oukidja.
THE RESCUE ON ALEXSANDRO’S LINE!
Metz can still be dangerous! On a good breakthrough into the open area, Diallo can try to strike. It’s deflected by Chevalier, who pushes back on Alexsandro. The ball then flies towards the goal, but the Lille defender returns to save on his line.
The center of Zagreb
He finds no partner and this is captured without any problem by Oukidja.
Tetteh gets off center a little too much
Found in depth, he might have hit or tried to dribble past Chevalier, but his first touch of the ball was mediocre and took him a little too far to the side.
Double change Metz
Exits of Sabaly and Elisor, the two most active offensive players. They are replaced by Diallo and Tetteh.
Haraldsson remplace Yazıcı
The young Lille player has not yet scored in the LOSC jersey. He has 20 minutes to do it today.
Sabaly in the area!
Udol’s cross was good, Sabaly took it with one touch in the area and forced Chevalier to intervene at the near post. Finally a Metz offensive.
The Messins took a big hit to morale
The second penalty saved by Lucas Chevalier in this meeting apparently calmed the enthusiasm of the Garnets.
The pace of the match has fallen
After a completely crazy end to the first period and the Metz penalty in this second period, we observed each other more and there was less offensive.
Alexsandro’s head!
Found by Cabella on the free kick, the Lille defender rises higher than everyone but he cannot adjust his attempt, which goes well above.
Foul on Tiago Santos near the surface
It gives Lille a good free kick. It’s probably Cabella who will take care of it.
The center deviated by Candé
It was then captured by Oukidja, but it might have been dangerous.
Benjamin André replaces Bentaleb
Along the way, he recovers the captain’s armband worn so far by Cabella.
NEW KNIGHT CATCHING UP!
2 OUT OF 2 FOR KNIGHT! Messins had changed shooter, with Camara instead of Elisor in the first period. But it’s shot from the same side and Lucas Chevalier is still perfectly on course to repel this penalty. We remain at 2-0.
NEW PENALTY FOR METZ!
On a quick counter-attack, Elisor was found in the middle and cut down by Chevalier in the area. Logical penalty, and it’s a chance to restart the match for Metz.
Angel Gomes very comfortable in the middle
He played a very clean match, causing a lot of passing delays.
Messins try to get their foot on the ball
The Lille residents are patient and at times engage in heavy pressure.
It’s back to Lille
The kick-off is given by Lille, who are in the lead.
It’s the break, LOSC leads 2-0
Lille made the difference with two goals in added time in this first period. Yazici freed LOSC, before Jonathan David’s break goal. At the start of the match, however, it was FC Metz who obtained a penalty and had the opportunity to take the lead.
THIS TIME DAVID DON’T MISS!
LOSC MAKES THE BREAK! Strongly, Jonathan David scores with the help of the post and a little success. 2-0 for LOSC, who did the job in a few minutes.
PENALTY FOR LOSC!
Found in the depths, Jonathan David is in contact with Candé, pushed by the arm of Messin. The Canadian collapses, the referee points to the penalty point.
Zhegrova can’t hit!
It was the 2-0 opportunity, with Yazici and David still involved. But Zhegrova then tried several dribbles without finding a shooting window.
YAZICI OPENS THE SCORE, METZ CEDES
JUST BEFORE THE BREAK, LILLE FINDS THE OPENING! Oukidja repels a big shot from Gomes, but Yazici is there to take the second ball, at close range, and give LOSC the advantage. 1-0 for Lille.
OUKIDJA DEVANT ZEGROVA !
Another great Lille combination! Yazici shifts David, who finds Zhegrova. From the left, Kovosar looks for the opposite post at ground level, but Oukidja relaxes well.
Oukidja misses his intervention
Bentaleb’s cross put the FC Metz goalkeeper in difficulty, but the mix-up did not benefit Lille.
Good Metz center
Small mess in the area, Chevalier intervenes but we were not far from a CSC or a ball which returned to Elisor.
David tries his luck
Left strike, above.
Metz demands a penalty
There was a contentious intervention in the Lille area following a hook from Elisor. But the referee said nothing. In slow motion, there seems to be a big push from Gudmunsson on the Garnets attacker.
YAZ HERE ABOVE!
ANOTHER HUGE OPPORTUNITY! After a superb delivery from David, the Turk controls and hits from close range… over the top.
The Lille counter!
After a badly played corner by Metz, it’s a 3 once morest 3 which presents itself for LOSC. Zhegrova shifts David to the left, whose cross is blocked. The defense played well.
DAVID’S MUST-HAVE!
IT WAS A COMPLETE GOAL! After a shot from Yazici was repelled by the post, Jonathan David inherited the ball alone, facing the empty goal, one meter from the goal line. But the Canadian takes this ball badly, which flies above the cage… It’s an impressive miss.
Center missed by Tiago Santos
For the moment, Lille really lacks precision when arriving in the last 20 meters of Metz.
KNIGHT OUT ELISOR’S PENALTY!
METZ MISSES THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN THE SCORE! Elisor, from the left, closes his foot but Chevalier dives on the right side and repels the Metz penalty. Superb save from the Lille goalkeeper and still 0-0.
PENALTY FOR METZ!
WHAT A MISTAKE BY THE DEFENSE! On a very complicated pass from Alexsandro for Yoro, the latter controls the ball poorly, is surprised by Sabaly and tries to catch up by tackling. The referee designates the penalty point.
Jean Jacques tries his luck in turn
It’s not on target, but it’s one of Metz’s first strikes.
CABELLA!
On a cross from the left, the captain of the day takes it from the right and misses the target. But there had been a whistle for a prior foul.
La frappe de Zhegrova!
Kosovar, once once more, hooks and tries his luck. He rolls in from the left and forces Oukidja to push back for a corner.
The release of Oukidja!
The Metz goalkeeper intervenes on Cabella’s corner, in a daring manner.
Le festival de Zagrebo
The differences often come from Kosovar at the start of the match. He once once more moves into the axis, dribbles past several players and shifts Cabella to the left. The Frenchman tries his luck, corner.
Cabella!
Another well-constructed action for Lille. Zhegrova’s cross does not find a taker at first, Cabella then attempts a recovery from the left, but it is complicated and pushed back by the defense.
Cabella not far from combining with Gomes
LOSC’s offensive creation goes a lot through the French leader, but for the moment he lacks a little precision in the last pass.
Kouao cannot continue, he gives up his place
The Metz side tried to continue 10 minutes following his alert at the start of the match, but it was no longer possible. He leaves, replaced by the young Joseph N’Duquidi.
Metz held the ball well at the start of the match
The Messins do not intend to give possession to Lille, even if they are away once morest a candidate for the podium.
Cabella withdrawn
He finds no one, following a very nice opening from Zhegrova.
Kouao takes his place
It seems to be okay for the moment, but the Messins still sent a few defenders to warm up.
Kouao on the ground
The Metz defender puts the ball into touch himself to seek treatment. He lies on the ground, not sure if he can continue this encounter. Strapped at the thigh, he was apparently already affected before the meeting.
Let’s go to Lille!
The kick-off is given by Metz. A very important match for the race for the podium. Monaco has just won, Lille must therefore win to keep pace with the podium and reduce the gap on Nice.
