A week after its success against Monaco, Lille continued by beating Bordeaux (2-1) and temporarily seized the head of Ligue 1 before the Paris-Lyon shock (9:00 p.m.), Sunday during the 14th day of L1.

Losc can still thank Jonathan Bamba, author of the opening scoring (16th) and an assist for his captain José Fonte (44th).

Toma Basic had equalized for the Girondins (28th).

Beaten Thursday night in the Europa League on the lawn of Celtic Glasgow with a reshaped team (3-2), the Mastiffs reacted well in the league after a controlled match where they did not however know how to shelter for lack of efficiency.

The Northerners, who have garnered ten points over the last four matches, have temporarily taken the lead in the L1 with 29 units on the clock, one more than PSG, which they will receive in a week.

Marseille, which has two games late, is two lengths and Lyon three before its match at the Parc des Princes on Sunday night.

The Bordelais, who remained on two victories and a draw, fall by one rank (11th, 19 pts) after this fifth setback of the season.

As usual, the Losc confiscated the ball at the start of the match but stumbled on a Bordeaux rearguard well in place.

And against, the Girondins had the opportunity to open the scoring, but Hatem Ben Arfa stumbled on Mike Maignan, who relaxed to block his cross shot in two stages (12th).

- Bamba still decisive -

Shortly after, Bordeaux was punished by Lille: found in the area by Jonathan Ikoné, Bamba, stopped against two defenders, unleashed a curled shot which ended at the bottom with the help of the left post of Benoit Costil (1-0, 16th).

Stung, the Bordelais then printed a high pressing to hinder the exit of the Lille ball and it worked rather well because the Northerners retreated.

And on a corner from Ben Arfa, Basic got rid of the marking of Boubakary Soumaré to score at close range at the far post (1-1, 28 ').

Lille then regained control of the game but failed to show up until the last minute of the first period.

Served at the entrance to the area by Burak Yilmaz, Ikoné placed a low strike, deflected with the tips of his fingers by Costil.

On the corner that followed, Bamba, once again decisive, placed the ball on the head of Fonte, launched, who found the skylight (2-1, 44th).

From the restart, the Mastiffs continued to push to drive the point home and almost succeeded but they lacked realism.

Thus, Yilmaz, still very precious Sunday, missed the frame on an unbalanced strike (53rd) and a header (61st), while Jonathan David stumbled on Costil during a face to face (57th).

Then Ikoné spoiled a three against two by attempting a strike, finally deflected by a Bordelais, while Yusuf Yazici and Yilmaz had stood out in the box (66th).
