The essentials are assured for Losc. The Mastiffs went on to a 17th match without defeat by winning in Rouen (0-1), in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France. But they would have liked to do it another way.
Despite the qualification, Thomas Meunier thus qualified as
“catastrophic” his team’s performance in the second half. “We can’t show that face”regretted the Belgian international at the microphone of beIN Sports.
Even if it was the 26th match of the season for his team, involved in the Champions League since July and in Ligue 1, Bruno Genesio had chosen to call on his usual starters, with the exception of Lucas Chevalier, who gives up his place in goal to Vito Mannone in this competition.
Lille still on three tables
This gave a good first period, with domination rewarded by a goal from Ismaily, on a good service in the area from Jonathan David (1-0, 22nd). But Losc, failing to score 2-0, left hope to the current 9th in the National. And even if Rouen was not extremely dangerous, Bruno Genesio seemed annoyed by the lack of control of his team, who did not know how to take cover.
On arrival, the essentials are assured for the people of Lille, who can treat themselves to a few short days of vacation during the break, before quickly getting back to business. In January, with their three tables, they will have 7 matches to play.
