Led by Saint-Etienne, Lille overthrew the situation and finally crushed her opponent on Saturday evening in Pierre-Mauroy (4-1, 20th day of Ligue 1).
The Lille week will have been beautiful from start to finish. Three days after having hit Feyenoord during the eighth and last day of the Champions League League phase (6-1), the northern club won at home Saturday evening against Saint-Étienne (4-1, 20th day of Ligue 1). In the provisional classification, the DOGUES return two points from the second place occupied by Marseille. The Greens remain fifteenth.
However, it was the latter who started the meeting best and who opened the scoring thanks to the penalty transformed by Zuriko Davitashvili (0-1, 6th). A history of penalty that will extend since the Lille will in turn obtain one by Jonathan David who will do justice himself (1-1, 32nd). Something to send everyone back to back to the break.
Sahraoui, the winning entrance
And it is in the second half that things will accelerate. Reduced to ten after the direct red received by Dylan Batubinsika (48th), the Stéphanois will not withstand the opposing waves. Lille take advantage of the double of a Sahrawi Osame entered the break (63rd and 78th), as well as the goal of Gabriel Gudmundsson (72nd) to drive her evening opponent. Visitors will not necessarily have deserved, but could not have resist in inferiority.
Ten goals scored in two games this week, the Lille are in full swing and will try to continue their momentum on Tuesday against Dunkirk, in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. For Saint-Etienne, the next step is set for February 8 with the reception of Rennes, a direct opponent for maintenance.
