IT’S FINISH ! LILLE TINS IN SALZBURG (2-1)
Despite an exciting and promising start to the match, Lille logically bowed against a solid and enterprising team from Salzburg (2-1). The Austrians gained momentum after a difficult first quarter of an hour and were able to intensify the collective pressure over the minutes. A grip on the part materialized by the opening of the score of Adeyemi at the half hour of play on a penalty which he himself caused, following a tackle from Botman.
Cornered before the break, the Northerners returned with better intentions on the restart but a new play against the Mastiffs made the task complicated, with a new penalty this time conceded by Yilmaz who awkwardly left his arm hanging out. straight into the wall on a coiled free kick from Wöber. Adeyemi did not miss the opportunity to widen the gap (53rd). The Turkish striker quickly caught up with an eccentric free kick at the entrance to the left area, well helped by the Swiss goalkeeper Kohn who missed his stop (62nd). The champions of France 2021 have found color without managing to maintain the pressure in front of the Austrian goal. David may long regret a badly negotiated counter, by choosing the strike while Yilmaz and Ikoné waited for the ball, alone in the area (68th).
LOSC has been chasing success in the Champions League since November 2012 and is last in Group G, with one point in two matches. In the other part, Wolfsburg and Sevilla neutralized each other (1-1). A draw that allows Lille not to be left behind from second qualifying place for the eighth. Suffice to say that the next meeting on October 20, at home against Sevilla FC, is already shaping up to be decisive.
