Did Bruno Genesio save his job on Saturday night? Some would have bet on his dismissal if the Losc coach and his players had fallen at home against Racing Club de Strasbourg at the end of this match of the 5th day of Ligue 1. A penalty converted by Jonathan David at the end of the match (3-3, 84th minute) prevented Lille from a fifth consecutive defeat, all competitions combined.
We can still imagine that the performance of Benjamin André and his teammates did not satisfy many people at the club, starting with the president Olivier Létang. Lille had started the match as it should have with a double from Edon Zhegrova (2-0, 15th and 27th) before the Strasbourg triggers got into action (2-3, 66th).
” It’s unfortunate to say, but we got away with it with this 3-3, because we could have led 4-0.”reacted Thomas Meunier, the Belgian full-back of Losc, questioned by beIN Sports.
