Lille, dominating is not winning

Despite unchallenged domination, Lille did not find the solution Thursday evening against Klaksvik (0-0), in a group match of the Europa Conference League.

Fifteen days after winning at home against Ljubljana (2-0), Losc played their second Group A match in the Europa Conference League this Thursday. Traveling to the Faroe Islands to face Klaksvik, Paulo Fonseca’s men hit a wall (0-0). The Mastiffs lost their first place in the group standings since Slovan Bratislava won at the same time against Ljubljana (0-1).

Lille therefore largely took the game into their own hands on the opposing pitch. No less than 67% of ball possession in their favor throughout the match and on shots, a scathing fourteen to two. The problem is that the Northerners did not convert a single one into a goal. We should try to react on October 26 during a match against Slovan Bratislava, its most serious opponent in this group.
