Lille's thrilling 4-2 win over Paris FC propels them into the top four, extending their unbeaten head-to-head record to seven matches...


Olivier Giroud scored a stunning brace, ending a two-month goal drought and propelling Lille to a thrilling 4-2 win over Paris FC, securing their spot in the top four. Giroud's impressive performance came after Paris FC took an early lead, with Willem Geubbels scoring his first league goal in nine games.


Geubbels' goal was a result of Vincent Marchetti's powerful 25-yard drive hitting the post, allowing Geubbels to tap the ball home. However, Lille fought back, with Giroud equalizing just before halftime and scoring a penalty in the 77th minute. Aissa Mandi and Marius Broholm also contributed to Lille's victory, scoring crucial goals to seal the win.


This seemed to spark Lille into life, and they immediately created chances, with Giroud having a towering header saved, followed by Romain Perraud's low shot expertly tipped to safety. Given that Stephane Gilli's men had only kept two clean sheets all season, it was unlikely they would be able to keep their opponents at bay until full-time 📊.


Lille's chances of keeping a clean sheet were slim, and their opponents were likely to capitalize on their vulnerability. The game was heating up, and it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Lille conceded again.


The lead didn't last long, as Olivier Giroud equalized just before halftime, converting from near the penalty spot after Romain Perraud's pull-back left him unmarked. Giroud was on fire, and he nearly scored again moments later, but Kevin Trapp made a great save from the striker's close-range effort.


Trapp continued to be the hero for Paris FC, making crucial stops from Hamza Igamane and Nabil Bentaleb before the interval. Despite Lille's dominance, the game was heading into halftime at 1-1, with Paris FC's defense holding strong.


Lille's momentum continued after the restart, with Trapp making another impressive save, this time denying Chancel Mbemba's header. The hosts were pushing hard, and it was only a matter of time before they created a clear-cut chance.


Meanwhile, Paris FC showed glimpses of their attacking prowess, with Marchetti bursting onto a through ball and having a stabbed shot blocked to safety by Berke Ozer. The game was intense, with both teams creating chances, but Lille's pressure eventually paid off.


Paris FC's luck was running out, and Lille's pressure finally paid off. Giroud forced another impressive save from Trapp, and the hosts were awarded a penalty for a foul on Hakon Haraldsson by Marchetti.


Giroud stepped up to take the penalty, and he delivered, firing the ball into the top corner and sending Trapp the wrong way. The goal was a turning point, and Lille took the lead, 2-1 up. Giroud's penalty was a statement, and it sparked a thrilling finish to the game.




Lille seemed to have wrapped up the game when Aissa Mandi headed the ball into an empty net, but Paris FC refused to give up. Lohann Doucet scored late on, setting up a tense finale. However, Lille proved they were up to the challenge, regaining their two-goal lead in stoppage time from a penalty spot after Doucet was penalized for handball, with Marius Broholm scoring.





The winning penalty was the culmination of an impressive comeback from Lille, who had trailed earlier in the game. Olivier Giroud's brace had helped them turn the tide, and they held on to secure a 4-2 victory.


Lille's thrilling 4-2 win over Paris FC propels them into the top four, extending their unbeaten head-to-head record to seven matches. Meanwhile, Paris FC's struggles continue, losing four of their last six games, leaving them just three points clear of the relegation zone.




The result is a significant boost for Lille, giving them momentum heading into the final stretch of the season. Paris FC, on the other hand, will need to regroup and find a way to turn their season aroundm
