Burak Yilmaz, the glow of LOSC
The Turkish striker, scorer (9th), showed the way to his teammates, but that was not enough to win.
Pressing and aggressive, Burak Yilmaz gave himself body and soul to put Nicolas Pallois and Andrei Girotto in difficulty.
Unfortunately for him, his coach Jocelyn Gourvennec made the choice to take him out in the 75th minute for his greatest dissatisfaction in this match.
His physical impact would undoubtedly have been crucial at the very end of the game.

LiveHeld in check by Nantes, Lille still idle in Ligue 1
Pedro Chirivella precious
The Spanish midfielder Pedro Chirivella delivered a high quality performance in the midfield of FC Nantes.
Positioned as a defensive midfielder, he was able to live up to the expectations of his coach by cutting the Lille pass lines, to the regret of his opponent Benjamin André.
Also active on the multiple counter-attacks with a strike on Ivo Grbic's goal, Pedro Chirivella was invaluable for Nantes.
Alban Lafont rewards his family
A stop that feels good.
Alban Lafont saves his teammates, ten after the expulsion of Fabio (78th), by stopping the penalty from Jonathan David 10 minutes from the end of the meeting.
The French porter relieved his defenders with his serenity and calm.
With more than 200 saves made since the start of the season, Alban Lafont shows his importance in the goals of FC Nantes.
Flops
Jonathan David, a penalty that hurts the head
Top scorer in the championship, the Canadian international striker missed the opportunity to strike again. Under pressure, the LOSC had to win to avoid remaining in the soft stomach in the standings. The penalty awarded by Johan Hamel could have allowed Lille to win but Jonathan David was unable to convert him. Apart from this action, the Canadian did not create any real opportunities and showed himself below his usual level.
Lille without a solution
The Lille collective was too flat. Benjamin André and Amadou Onana never managed to impose their rhythm in this meeting. Without idea or creativity, LOSC could not do better than take a point. The Nantes equalizer made Lille and their trainer, Jocelyn Gourvennec, doubtful in his choice of replacements. The fear of winning in the league still continues for the reigning French champions.
Fabio sees red
Brazilian right-back Fabio left his teammates outnumbered for a shirt pulling on Zeki Celik.
Annihilating a scoring opportunity, Johan Hamel did not hesitate when he released the red card.
But fortunately for him, his goalkeeper Alban Lafont was effective in “catching up” his mistake.
Often in difficulty on his lane, Fabio will have seen his teammates give everything not to leave with zero points for this trip to the North.
