The carrot was beautiful. For his last of the year 2024 in his lair, Lille
had the opportunity to achieve the 1,000 victory in its history at home. A symbolic bar as an early Christmas gift for the supporters of the northern club. The mission was accomplished with quiet success (3-1). The credit goes mainly to Jonathan David, author of a double.
Fourth in the standings, Bruno Genesio’s team also sought to ride a remarkable series of invincibility since they have not known the taste of defeat for 13 matches in all competitions. Suffice to say that this meeting against Brest was not to be taken lightly for the Mastiffs. And it was of even greater importance for his opponent, stuck in the second half of the table and without margin in Ligue 1.

Bruno Genesio and Eric Roy had therefore concocted a competitive eleven for this match, despite their European deadlines in a hellish schedule. And it was the Mastiffs who had the last word in this balance of power. More effective in the two zones of truth, the northern club took the upper hand in this match. Jonathan David scored a goal in each half and Akon Haraldsson also found the net.
The Brestois reduced the score through Ludovic Ajorque. A goal which did not fundamentally change the appearance of the match. LOSC having managed its advantage well, despite its opponent’s attempted revolt. The northern team therefore achieved the first good operation of this 14th day of Ligue 1, with a jump to the podium. It’s only temporary, but it’s ideal for preparing for your European release. For Brest, on the other hand, it is a restrictive misstep and which further complicates the club’s situation on the national scene.
