FC Lorient largely won against Lille, this Sunday, on behalf of the 3rd day of Ligue 1 (4-1).
There were things to complain about in the ranks of LOSC on Thursday after the narrow success against the Croats of Rijeka (2-1). This Sunday, the northern club confirmed, if necessary, that the European Cup-Ligue 1 sequences would be one of the major problems of its season. Dulled physically, mentally amorphous, the men of Paulo Fonseca sank in great widths against an amazing team from Lorient.
The start of the match also quickly settled the matter, since in less than a quarter of an hour, the Hakes had taken off in this meeting. Abergel took advantage of a big defensive error to unblock the situation (1-0, 9th), before Ponceau doubled the bet less than two minutes later on a cross shot that hit home (2-0, 11th). We thought then that another match was going to start. It has not happened. The Mastiffs went through this first act without a clue. And the second was barely better.
Lorient did not tremble
The reduction in the score of the inevitable Jonathan David had the merit of maintaining the illusion on the return from the locker room (2-1, 56th), but the Merlus put their foot back on the accelerator to score two new goals and seal definitely their victory. Faivre scored the 3rd Breton goal with a subtle lob (3-1, 62nd), before Le Goff, opportunist after a shot repelled by Chevallier, scored the 4th (4-1, 68th). A job well done for a team from Lorient which won its first success with style.
