Lille OSC has booked a business victory in the Ligue 1 on Sunday evening. At home, the team of coach Jocelyn Gourvennec played dominant football against Montpellier, which was spared an ear washing, partly due to the lack of sharpness and fortune in the completion of Lille: 2-1 . Sven Botman got a basic spot and completed the ninety minutes. It was the first win for Lille, which had previously drawn twice and lost to OGC Nice; Montpellier are stuck on four points from the first four games.
The home team started the game full of conviction in the fourth round. The attacking spirit already resulted in the first chance of the match in the second minute of play. From the left side of the box, Burak Yilmaz fired on the enemy target with the right, although his effort went just wide. Yusuf Yazici tried his luck with a shot from distance after fifteen minutes of play, but his shot didn’t end up between the posts either. It took until the stoppage time of the first half for the opening goal to fall.
After a free kick, José Fonte cleared the ball for Yazici with his head. The latter was just outside the box ready to hit the ball and did it effectively in the bottom right corner: 1-0. However, Lille could not enjoy the lead for long, as Montpellier tied the score in the fourth minute of injury time. Gaëtan Laborde came face to face with goalkeeper Dimitry Bertaud and did not fail: 1-1. The goal came somewhat out of the blue, as Lille was more than the dominant party.
Ten minutes after rest lesson Dogues in order. After a long ball from behind, Jonathan David took possession of the ball within the box. At first he seemed to lose the ball to Bertaud after a careless assumption, but thanks to a lot of perseverance he got the ball again and signed the 2-1. Montpellier’s hopes of a good result waned seventeen minutes before the end, when Junior Sambia was sent off with a second yellow card by referee Amaury Delerue. Finally, the scoreboard stopped moving.
