Lille Football Club secured their second league victory of the season with a crucial stoppage-time goal from Moussa Bentaleb. The match took place at the Stade de la Meinau in Lens, where Lille was able to extend their lead over their primary rivals, Paris Saint-Germain. The game started off with both teams showing signs of attacking intent, but it wasn't until the 68th minute that Lille finally broke through. Bentaleb, who had been on the pitch since the beginning of the second half, delivered a pinpoint cross into the box which was met by a header from Victor Osimhen, who deflected the ball past the goalkeeper and into the back of the net. With just three minutes remaining, Lens had a chance to equalize when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fired a shot from outside the penalty area, but his effort was saved by Lille's goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris. As the clock ticked down towards full time, Lille's defense showed resilience, with goalkeeper Kevin Trapp making several saves to deny Lens' attackers. However, it wasn't long before Bentaleb put the icing on the cake. With only seconds left on the clock, he received the ball in the penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot that beat Lens' goalkeeper yet again. This victory extends Lille's winning streak to four matches, while also putting them one point behind Paris Saint-Germain in the standings. It is another step forward for Lille, who have shown remarkable consistency throughout the season and continue to be a force to be reckoned with in French football. |
