The Montpellier have won 4-1 against Lille in this opening match of the 11th day of D1, the last of the first leg in this season 2017/2018. A partially won victory in the first half hour of a game where the LOSC dominated the second half without being able to reverse the outcome of the game.


On this day of national tribute, the players entered Grammont's law on the song of Johnny Hallyday "Envy". And if Lille should be eager to start, they who could not play last weekend against Paris FC (a meeting postponed to December 20), it is the Montpellier who are the best players in their match. They will quickly open the scoring thanks to Marie-Charlotte Leger (4th) who will even afford a double of a very nice shot (26th). The players of the Paillade will increase their lead in the wake thanks to the Belgian international Janice Cayman (30th).

Lille are better in the second act, and Ouleymata Sarr is close to closing the gap. First, a shot too crossed Lille striker, perfectly launched in the depth by teammate Rachel Saïdi. Then on a pass from Saïdi always, Ouleye Sarr found the bar (64th). Finally, on a face to face with the keeper missed by the former Parisian (72nd). But the domination of the Northerners does not stop there. Another Lille, Jana Coryn, will afford a great opportunity in turn by managing to dribble Meline Gerard, but the Belgian is back on the wire.

Blow of fate, despite being dominating in this second act, the promoted will see Montpellier accentuate even more his lead with a goal from Valerie Gauvin (84). However, despite the defeat already drawn, the LOSC will save the honor in stoppage time through Jana Coryn (92).

Thanks to this victory Montpellier returns temporarily to a point of the PSG. What put a little pressure to Paris, before the shock of this eleventh day of D1 Monday night in Lyon.
