déroule face à Sturm Graz et fait un grand pas vers les quarts

The storm will arrive from the north of France.
A week after the team’s return to Pierre-Mauroy, Lille easily defeated Sturm Graz (0-3) while on the road in Austria to make significant progress toward qualification for the Ligue Europa Conference quarterfinals. Un succès que le LOSC doit à Jonathan David et à son supériorité évidente au champion autrichien, qui était en forme en 2024. As is often the case, the Canadian attacker could have been more physical, but he did manage to score a double, something he had only once in the poules phase.
Zhegrova for the curtain call
The best shooter on the Dogues confounded the lilloise dominance in the halfway point of the game. It has been much aided by the movement started by Tiago Santos, which is a fantastic pass for the very young Ayyoub Bouaddi, who was expected to replace the butcher David (0-1, 28e). He put it on hold in the second half, pulling out the red-hot style once more to dive onto a balloon that had shattered the bar following a strong strike by Hákon Arnar Haraldsson (following a lovely relationship with Angel Gomes) to go close to the goal (0-2, 51e). There was not one.
Not only did Lucas Chevalier respond to his homologue Vítězslav Jaroš by standing on Manprit Sarkaria’s attempt a little earlier in the encounter, but he also did so for the benefit of the butchers at the Merkur Arena.
En vérité, les Lillois auraient pu prendre un peu more de la vigueur si Jaroš hadn’t just halted him in front of the Canadian. They were also a little alarmed when Otar Kiteishvili discovered the Chevalier’s barre. Then, another masterpiece—this one by Edon Zhegrova—was presented by the LOSC. In a little corner, Kosovar faced Gomes, who handed him the ball and allowed him to admire his magnificent enroulé in the other team’s fight to finally eliminate the Autrichiens (0-3, 71e). Paulo Fonseca was able to excite a few players before of Sunday’s Rennes game, but not his home field, which continued to advance forwardEven though Chevalier had to stop Szymon Włodarczyk from profiting from a Bouaddi ball loss, he was still his opponent. Lille était too fort, les cries des supporters autrichiens jusqu’au bout n’ont pas changé.
Well, there’s no need to cancel the match against Brest; Fonseca will be able to relieve the fatigue on Thursday.
