Review of the match Auxerre - Lille:

The soccer match between Auxerre and Lille at the Stade de l'Abbaye Deschamps was intense from start to finish. Both sides went into the game with a lot on the line and knew that a win would put them in a better position to achieve their league goals. Lille dominated the game in the first half and created several goal scoring opportunities. In the 27th minute Lille player J. Fonte received a yellow card for a foul on an Auxerre player. However, just nine minutes later, a penalty was awarded to Lille when J. David fouled inside the penalty box. He took the lead and brilliantly converted the penalty, giving Lille the lead. Auxerre tried to get back into the game but Lille's defense held them back. The score remained 0-1 at halftime, and Auxerre had a lot of work to do in the second half to get anything out of this game. When play resumed in the second half, Auxerre took the field with renewed vigor and began to create their chances. In the 62nd minute, a penalty was awarded to Auxerre, and M. Niang confidently converted the spot kick, levelling the game.

Both teams kept looking for a winner, but it did not happen, and the game ended with a score of 1-1. The result was probably a fair reflection of the game, as both teams had chances to win. Several substitutions were made during the game, both teams wanting to give different players a chance to prove themselves. Auxerre made two substitutions at the same time in the 75th minute, releasing N. Da Costa and G. Gein instead of M. Autre and G. Perrin, respectively. Lille responded shortly thereafter, releasing J. Bamba in place of T. Vea in the 78th minute. In the final stages of the game, both teams made substitutions. Auxerre substituted M. Ablin in place of M. Niang in the 82nd minute and Lille substituted Ismaily in place of M. Baio in the 87th minute. The last substitution in the game took place at halftime: Lille released A. Gomes instead of K. Balleb. In general, it was an exciting match, which delighted the fans of both teams. Although neither team got the win they wanted, they will be happy with the hard-fought win that will keep them in the lead of the league. Time will tell if this result will be decisive for the fate of each team this season.

In the next round the following matches are waiting for the opponents: Marseille vs Auxerre and Lille vs Ajaccio.
