Lille falls against Dortmund and says goodbye to Europe!

The LOSC lost to Borussia Dortmund (1-2) in the round of 16 return from the Champions League.

The LOSC received Borussia Dortmund this Wednesday in Pierre-Mauroy for an eighth long-awaited return. After a draw (1-1) at the Iduna Park signal, the DOGUES were keen to win their qualification in the quarter-finals against the finalist of the previous edition, and this, in front of their audience.

An ideal departure for Lille

In this meeting, the men of Génésio operated a canon departure, fully displaying their ambition to do as well as Paris Saint-Germain, qualified this Tuesday in the quarter-finals at the expense of Liverpool. On a beautiful race, Ismail was going to serve David between the defenders, in the surface. True to its effectiveness in the big meetings, the Canadian sent the ball without dosing it between Kobel's legs (1-0, 5th).

But faced with a Lille team in place, the Germans first tried to find their number one offensive weapon, Guirassy, ​​on long balls, without success. The first alert for northerners came from a shot from Ryerson (13th). However, the DOGUES were doing well in this first quarter of an hour, despite the Dortmund pressing. However, as the meeting progressed, the pressure of the yellow and black was felt.

Lille suffering from German assaults

The northerners faced huge scares on two German attacks. First Gross, found in the Lille surface, propels the ball near the right post, but a LOSC defender manages to repel it (17th). Shortly after, it is Ryerson's turn to try his luck on a strike, which meets the excellence of knight, author of a beautiful judgment (19th).

The Lille porter then produced a high class parade on a Brandt's head, who had managed to overlook his Lille opponents. In a second step, Chevalier also stops an attempt at the ground of Guirassy (20th). Until the end of this first period, LOSC will suffer a lot and be put to the test by visitors. Gross, upon receipt of a center, will see his head crash on the crossbar (45+1).

Dortmund equalizes and takes the advantage

Upon returning from the locker room, the BVB still pushes and seems closer and closer to wavering Lille. He finally succeeded before the time of play. On a penalty obtained after a fault on Guirassy, ​​Can converts him perfectly with a powerful full axis strike halfway up, winning his psychological duel against Knight (1-1, 54th).

Attempts then continue in favor of the Germans. Consequently, strikes from Haraldsson (61st), Adeyemi (62nd), and a head of Ryerson (63rd) are very close to hitting. Finally, the 10th of Bundesliga takes the advantage thanks to Beier. After playing Cabella, Ryerson transmits to Guirassy, ​​who weighed more and more in this meeting. The Guinean striker finds Beier, who, with a powerful strike, sends the ball under the bar, full skylight (1-2, 65th). Time now spun against Lille.

David and Akpom are missing the equalization

David is missing a huge opportunity in the 78th, while the meeting approaches its term: on a center halfway up which finds David at the first post, the Canadian striker resumes from the right foot, but this time, Kobel pushes his attempt.

Another frank opportunity arises with Akpom, who, lonely at the second post, fails to sufficiently press his head on an aerial ball (84th). The northerners will try to plant their comics until additional time, but without success, thus signing the end of their glorious European campaign. They thus leave PSG as the only French representative in the running in the Queen of Europe competition.
