The LOSC won on the ground at the Stadium of Toulouse (1-2) during a meeting marked by a strong desire to reassure itself after a disappointing performance the previous week. Despite a difficult start to the match and crucial interventions by goaltender Lucas Chevalier, who pushed back six opposing shots, the Lille team managed to take the climber with goals from Matías Fernández-Pardo and Mitchel Bakker. This victory, underlined by Benjamin André, captain of the team, is seen as essential in the points race, especially since direct confrontations remain to come and every point gleaned, even under difficult conditions, is precious.

The Lille captain acknowledged that the team did not start the game in the way hoped for, highlighting a lack of initial control and a style of play that led to an attack-counter-attack phase. Although he felt that the team had overall mastered the first period, Benjamin André expressed some dissatisfaction with the management of the second half, regretting inappropriate tactical choices that allowed the opponent to regain control of the game. He stressed the need for better preservation of possession and more balanced management of tempo, alternating moments of attack and phases of conservation of the balloon.

In conclusion, the LOSC left Toulouse with an important victory, but Benjamin André clearly expressed the need for an in-depth analysis of the team’s performance, particularly with regard to the management of the second period. The team will have to work to improve its control of the game and avoid tactical mistakes that could compromise its goals in the upcoming games, while capitalizing on the valuable points gained during this trip to Occitanie.
