It’s half-time, Lille is leading the way!
It’s the break in Lille! LOSC leads the way thanks to a very good goal from Zhegrova at the start of the match. The Lensois will have to do better in the second half to hope to come back to the score.
2 minutes of added time
There will be 2 minutes more in this first act. Enough to see a Lensoise reaction before returning to the locker room?
Tiago Santos very vigilant in defense
Pereira da Costa offers a nice breakthrough on the right side and crosses into the area. The ball flies and Tiago Santos limits the risks by sending it for a corner.
Lens struggling and too technically imprecise
First complicated period for the Lensois who multiply the small technical inaccuracies. For the moment, the Lensois are not endangering LOSC and the reaction is too timid.
Medina was never expelled
A small statistic to bring following this finally revised expulsion from Medina: the Argentinian has never received a red card during his career. That would have been a first.
The red card issued for Medina… and finally canceled
Big scare for the Lensois! Medina engages and tackles Zhegrova. The referee, Willy Delajod, immediately brings out the red before being called to consult the video. He finally reconsidered his decision and warned the Argentinian with a yellow.
Zhegrova’s attempt flies into the stands
The Kosovar is less fine than on the opening score to hit this free kick. His strong shot flies into the stands.
Haraldsson hits, Aguilar makes a mistake
In free electron this evening, Haraldsson is found between the lines and turns to face the game. It takes a foul from Aguilar to stop him. LOSC will have a good free kick to negotiate.
Another opportunity for David, Danso tackles well
The Lille goleador, who has already scored 10 goals in Ligue 1 in 2024, is served behind in the area and weapons with first intention. Danso tackles and deflects the leather. It will be a corner for LOSC.
Lens accelerates a little, Saïd offside
First phase of play faster for Lensois. Sotoca gets closer to Saïd and tries to alert him in the area. The Sang et Or attacker will challenge Chevalier. The duel is won by the Lille goalkeeper. It was offside anyway.
An easy stop for Samba
David alerts Samba again with an axial strike near the surface. It is too weak to worry the Lensois goalkeeper who grabs the ball easily.
Samba resists David’s pressing
The Lille people continue to move forward, pushed by their public. David increases his efforts on the attack front and will press Samba to restart. The Blood and Gold doorman makes no mistakes.
Zhegrova clinic in front of goal
It only took one ball into the box for Zhegrova to score tonight. The Kosovar was surgical.
Haraldsson’s acrobatic recovery, Aguilar hits the wall
The opening score was good for LOSC. Lille play with confidence. Santos sends a good cross which Haraldsson takes with an acrobatic volley. It was on target but Aguilar was on target.
Lens tries to respond
Slight reaction from Lens with a cross from Sotoca from the right flank. Pereira Da Costa volleys it but it flies over Chevalier’s cage.
4th goal for Zhegrova in Ligue 1
The dynamic Lille winger has had a remarkable season and scored his 4th goal in Ligue 1 this season.
The jewel of Zhegrova, Lille is already ahead!
LOSC is already blowing up the Lens defense. Bentaleb sends a good ball to Zhegrova in the area. The Kosovar fixes the defense perfectly before closing his foot and cracking Samba with a perfectly caressed clear shot, 1-0 for Lille!
The Lille block well in place
Balanced start to the match with a Lille team in place and very tactically rigorous. It will take movement in the Lensois ranks to move this bloc this evening.
Haraldsson as playmaker
The Lille playing system is already very clear. Haraldsson takes his place in a number 10 role, at the heart of the game, like Angel Gomes or Cabella.
Let’s go !
The kick-off is given in Lille, let’s go for this Northern derby! It is Lille who start the game. A light fog settled in after the smoke erupted in the stands.
Jonathan David, the fit man of 2024
The Canadian LOSC striker has been on fire since the start of the calendar year and has scored 10 goals in Ligue 1 in 2024. Only Harry Kane is doing as well in Europe.
The Lille composition is there too, Haraldsson holder
Classic for Lille and Paulo Fonseca. The Portuguese technician lines up an electric trio in support of David, the man in shape in 2024.
The starting composition of LOSC: Knight – Santos, Diakité, Yoro, Ismaïly – Bentaleb, André – Zhegrova, Haraldsson, Gudmundsson – David.
The Lensoise composition has fallen, Chavez holder
The Blood and Gold with Samed and Saïd starting, Haïdara and Diouf on the bench.
The starting lineup of RC Lens: Samba – Aguilar, Danso, Medina, Chavez – Frankowski, El Aynaoui, Abdul Samed, Pereira Da Costa – Saïd, Sotoca.
The big atmosphere when the Lille players arrived
Huge atmosphere when the Lille bus arrives then when the players get off
