He won in Angers despite a difficult first period

In a match marked by the expulsion of Bafodé Diakité and the injury of Ethan Mbappé, the LOSC won on Angers’ lawn last Sunday (1-2). Before the kick-off, the Dogues had 53 points behind Monaco (2nd), Marseille (3rd), Lyon (4th) and Nice (5th).

The game started under high tension for the Lille players who experienced chills from the first minutes. André Gomes lost the ball on the surface, but Abdelli failed to take advantage of this opportunity (4’). Lucas Chevalier, the LOSC goaltender, had to face a dangerous pullback and managed to narrow the angle to avoid an angeline goal (15’).

After a quarter of an hour of floating, the LOSC took control of the game but the approximations of the offensives prevented the Dogs from creating dangerous opportunities. It was finally Alexsandro who opened the score at the reception of a free kick kicked by his Icelandic competitor Hakon Haraldsson (45+1’).

In the recovery, the Dogues accelerated and scored a second goal thanks to a strong Chuba Akpom pass for Hakon Haraldsson (50’). The Irishman also had the opportunity to score a third goal but without success (60’).

The game was marked by the expulsion of Bafodé Diakité for a gross fault (67’) and the injury of Ethan Mbappé, victim of a slamming behind the thigh three minutes after he entered the game (75’). despite these incidents, Lille managed to retain its advantage and win the 1-2 game.

Thanks to this victory, LOSC provisionally takes second place in the Ligue 1 standings with 56 points. The next game of the 31st day of Ligue 1 will take place on April 27 at 3pm against Stade Rennais.
