After its elimination in the Europa Conference League and its defeat in Monaco, Losc reacted by stopping the good series of FC Metz (1-2).
Losc has not given up! After a slightly more complicated week, with a cruel elimination in the Europa Conference League against Aston Villa followed by a defeat in Monaco (1-0) against a rival in the race for Europe, the Mastiffs got the machine back on track in going to win on the field of FC Metz (1-2).
This was not an easy mission, because if the Lorraines play to maintain, they are in good form (two victories before this meeting), like their serial scorer Georges Mikautadze. And the Georgian international struck again by opening the scoring (1-0, 23rd), with a penalty whistled following a handball from Nabil Bentaleb. His 10th goal in 15 matches since his return to Lorraine this winter.
Lille, Top 4 almost assured
Losc had the merit of reacting very well and turning the tide before half-time, thanks to goals from Ismaily (1-1, 32nd) and Yusuf Yazici (1-2, 44th). And the Northerners then held on in a contested and tense second half, given the high stakes for both clubs at the end of the season.
Lille temporarily regains third place at Stade Brestois, putting pressure on the Bretons, and has just taken a big step towards a place in the Top 4 for the end of the season. Metz, for its part, remains 16th and play-off, its position since the draw brought back from Paris by Le Havre (3-3) on Saturday evening. The battle will continue next week!
