  • For Jocelyn Gourvennec, this expulsion, which occurred in the 35th minute, is "extremely severe and a game-changer".

At the Velodrome stadium,

The satisfaction of the service, the bitterness of the expulsion for the Lille residents on Sunday evening in Marseille.

Jocelyn Gourvennec's players managed to bring back a point from the Vélodrome stadium after the draw against OM (1-1).

The union minimum as the Marseillais appeared in difficulty to bring danger to Grbic's goal, but a good point in the end with the expulsion of Benjamin André in the 35th minute of play.

“We are satisfied to have shared the points, at least.

At 11 against 11, we had control of the match, we were above but we did not manage to put the 2nd, because Lopez made the stops, “said the LOSC coach.

"Playing for an hour at 10 is not easy"

But that was until the 35th minute, and Benjamin André's second yellow card for a big foul on Mattéo Guendouzi, when Lille's number 21 had just been warned 30 seconds earlier for a dispute.

“The expulsion is extremely severe, it is a game-changer”, repeated Jocelyn Gourvennec several times, while refusing to enter into the controversy.

For Lille midfielder Onana, "it's especially the first yellow that is severe, but you have to respect the referee's decision".

Despite this numerical inferiority very early in the match, the LOSC players continued to defend very well and it was finally Cengiz Under who allowed OM to pick up the score (75th).

But Sampaoli's men would probably never have scored without this flash from the Turk.

“The red card put us in difficulty, but we did the job, we remained united.

I don't think there are any regrets, I mostly take the positive and play for an hour at 10, it's not easy,” Onana said.

“Go back to the top of the rankings”

A good defensive solidity characterized by the two control towers of LOSC, Botman who even turned into a scorer (15th), and Fonte, who forced the OM attackers to pass, without much success, by the sides.

It now remains to find a little more accuracy in attack, the counterattacks often led by the fast Renato Sanches deserved better, and would have allowed them to sink the Marseillais before they come back to the score.

“We have to push, and do even more.

We must continue in this state of mind, and go up in the high rankings, ”hopes Jocelyn Gourvennec.

Despite this satisfying draw given the face of the match, Lille are treading water and remain in 10th place in the standings.

With a late game they will play against Lorient on Wednesday.
