There are first symbolic, and others who have a real utility. The victory of Lille in Seville (1-2) ranks in the second category. Northern training had never been able to impose itself in Spain in six trips. It took the seventh to leave from the Cervantes country with the three points.

And this season, after zero success in three parts during this new European campaign, the dogs, third before the kickoff, were obliged to at least share the points with the Andalusians, second of the group Before starting the game.

The part seemed to take the contours of a new galley party for the champions of France 2021 when Lucas Ocampos, opportunistic before the goal, opened the mark on a quarter of an hour of play (15 e ) With impotence quickly succeeded the injustice when Jonathan David was forgotten a penalty yet obvious following a poorly mastered tap of Thomas Delaney (17 e ).

Video assistance to arbitration, however, validated the decision of the Romanian referee, Istvan Kovacs, with the great disarray of the Nordists, parties to suffer in Andalusia. But perhaps encouraged by the probative copy made in Paris in Ligue 1 (2-1 defeat in the last moments), the players of Jocelyn Gourvennec have never ceased to believe with a much more team-focused team than during the first leg. The Lille coach had opted for three attackers and a midfielder on the possession of the ball.

Ikoné makes everything forget

 Jonathan Ikon gave the victory in Lille.

And it’s a blow of destiny – or an idiotic fault – which restarted Lille, when Thomas Delaney was caught in the act of arms on the face of Bamba In the surface, while the action grew at respectable remote (41 e ). This time, the Romanian referee validated the fault of the Danish environment to designate the penalty point. In great shape in the championship with 8 achievements, Jonathan David did not shake to equalize just before the break (43 e ).

The Andalus block then dismissed and Lille should have enjoyed it in the stride but Jonathan Ikoné stopped on the guardian Yassine Bounou after a bad ball line (45 e ). Disappointing when entering the go, Ikoné has tilted the Lille evening into the joy, well placed in the five meters after shooting on the pole of Zeki Celik (51 e ).

It’s only the second goal of the season in sixteen meetings for the French international, but it is one of the most important of the season. “We were waiting for this success impatiently and we hope that this victory will not be the last. We will do everything to qualify, we have two games left. We thought it from the beginning, we must give themselves the means and do not let go. . We will celebrate that, “explained, smile, the decisive scorer.

Drafts and too nervous (five warnings), Sevilians never seemed able to come back. Lille has been winning in the Champions League game for nine years, and a success for butter in Borisov in Belarus (0-2). That of November 2, 2021 could be expensive. Lille is 2 e Two days of the end – thanks to the difference of goals, 0 against – 1 in Wolfsburg – and could find the way of the eighths, there too for the first time since a little eternity . It was in 2007. For this, it will be necessary to manage the reception of Salzburg on November 23 and especially a perilous displacement in Wolfsburg closed on December 5th.
