Lille upset by Nantais

And three… Third draw in four days for Losc which is floundering somewhat in this winter of 2024-2025. For the resumption of the championship this weekend, three weeks after sharing points in Marseille, Lille recorded a new parity score. This time at home against FC Nantes (1-1).

As often this season in the championship, the Mastiffs were able to take the bull by the horns and show themselves sufficiently enterprising in the first act to open the scoring, by an opportunistic Gudmundsson (1-0, 40e). After a goal refused to Ganago for an offside by Lepenant, confused to say the least (48e), the Canaries however achieved their goals, equalizing by Abline on a somewhat forced penalty (1-1, 70e).

Always at the foot of the podium

The result obviously does not suit Lille, thus confined to the fourth level, under the threat of Lyon and two lengths behind Marseillais likely to gain a little more margin on Sunday against Le Havre. The Nantes residents remain within reach of the red zone, only two steps ahead of the Angevin play-offs who must honor a Sunday meeting against Brest.
