Very little inspired, especially during the first period, the players Christophe Galtier snatched the victory over Reims in extremis.
A strike from Xeka full axis that Reims goalkeeper Rajkovic can only repel and David, the young Belgian striker, 21, leaps to propel the ball into the back of the opposing net (90th + 1).
After the victory of PSG in Angers (1-0) and while waiting for Lyon-Metz in the evening (9 p.m.), Losc, already beaten at home by Angers two weeks ago, was scared but therefore fulfilled his contract.
At war with our Mastiffs ❤

But, victorious on the line, Lille can be happy to have equalized thanks to an error in Reims at the very start of the second period, while David Guion's team led in the score.
"I'm happy because we have the three points, it's as simple as that, declared at the microphone of Téléfoot Jonathan David, the young Canadian striker transferred for 27 million euros in the offseason, of which it is the 3rd goal.
We couldn't find a solution in the first half but we knew we would find the spaces if we continued to fight… ”
Before the break, the Northerners systematically stumbled against a well-organized Reims defense.
Conversely, the visitors made some forays into the opposing camp, as evidenced by an attempt by Cafaro, next to (2nd), then a recovery of Mbuku's left foot flush with the left post of Maignan (8th).
Reims quite logically opened the scoring just after half an hour of play. Left side, Zeneli addresses a center-shot with a foot that Maignan, under pressure from Abdelhamid, lets enter the Lille goal (0-1, 36th) .
Unique Lille opportunity before the break: André, receiving a free kick from the left, released a powerful header that Rajkovic turned away at the last minute with his hand (45th).
Bamba, great offensive resource
From the start of the second period, the Mastiffs seemed to have found some bite.
A poor short recovery from goalkeeper Rajkovic, a slip from his defender Cassama and Bamba equalizes with a curled shot of the unstoppable right foot flush with the left post of Reims (1-1, 48th).
Great Lille offensive resource, the Franco-Ivorian striker brings his total to 6 goals this season - 6 assists.
However, the going Lille glimpsed at the return of the locker room remained largely without result, despite one or two minimal alerts on the goal of Rajkovic.
