Surprised by a sharper opponent on the counter-attack, Lille is led on its lawn against Montpellier (0-1) the break of this match of the 31st day of Ligue 1.
Installed in the Montpellier camp from the start, Lille dominated the first twenty minutes. A domination that was not reflected in terms of chances for the players of Paulo Fonseca, dangerous only on a shot from Weah next to the post then a diving header from Bamba magnificently stopped by goalkeeper Lecomte. The Montpellier residents did not need as many opportunities.
On their first foray into the Lille area, the MHSC opened the scoring with a cross from Khazri taken at the far post by Sylla (0-1, 24th)! Five minutes later, the club hraultais could make the break but Khazri, forgotten at the far post, got tangled up on a perfect service from Ferri in the box. The Mastiffs, who failed to react after the goal conceded, could consider themselves happy to return to the locker room at the break with only a goal behind against opponents much more sharp and fair on their offensives.
