Jardim keeps the boat afloat
Leo Jardim is the first hero of this short Lille 1-0 success at Pierre-Mauroy against Strasbourg.
On several occasions, the 27-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper has been decisive on his line, but also in the air or higher up the field.
The Lille goalkeeper author of a first parade in front of Kevin Gameiro (58th), before reoffending a little later, in front of Adrien Thomasson this time (76th).
Three saves and two boxed balls in total for Léo Jardim.
Çelik as a hero
It took 87 minutes to see the only goal of this meeting.
A goal that comes on a high recovery of the Mastiffs.
Gabriel Gundmunsson recovers the ball in his left lane, relies on Renato, who shifts Timothy Weah to the right.
The American striker admits a cross from the right, pushed back by the defense, and Zeki Çelik pushes the ball into the back of the net, from the left and sliding.
The Turkish defender has been solid as he has won seven of the eleven duels he has played.

flops
Strasbourg harvested
The Strasbourg may have regrets, but can only blame themselves, during this meeting which they generally dominated, with in particular 70% possession of the ball in the first half hour of the second period. .
Eleven shots in total, but only three catch the frame.
With this defeat, the RCSA certainly says goodbye to the podium, and therefore to a chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
Lille without idea
Only one goal from three unfortunate attempts on target in 90 minutes.
As too often this season, Lille were without solutions offensively.
Renato Sanches had too little impact with 22 lost balls and only 20% of duels won.
Burak Yilmaz has framed only one shot, but above all he was at fault three times and signaled four times in an offside position.
Jonathan David was the Lille resident who ran the most (with nearly 10 kilometers), but did not attempt any shots.
Mastiffs released under the whistles of Pierre-Mauroy.
Understandable.
