Crosses for the new season in the top division of France, with Nis and Lil to stay tied 1-1 and share by one degree.
The Nice team took the lead in the 19th minute and withstood Lille’s pressure until the 94th minute, when the visitors equalized, “freezing” the Allianz Riviera.
The hosts started the match by coming on very strong and missing their first chance with Boga in the 11th minute, while in the 19th minute they were fortunate to take the lead when Thuram made a steal in the center area and after a quick counter-attack the Lambord opened the scoring with a wonderful “snipe” of the ball over Chevalier.
Then the visitors pressed, they missed a great chance with Moffi in the 41st minute, while he was the one who failed to send the ball into the net from an advantageous position, not even in the 57th minute. Lille continued to push for an equaliser, missing further chances with David (66′) and Haraldsson (70′) with time running out.
Finally, the solution for Nice was found at 90’+4′, with Gomes taking a free-kick and Diakite to rise higher than everyone and send the ball into the net for the final 1-1.
