Thank you all for having followed this European evening with us. Too bad for the Losc but frankly, the logic has been respected. Excellent evening everyone and see you soon on 19 minutes.fr
21 h 55 : It will take an exploit next Thursday in Amsterdam for Lille to pass in the eighth. We will have to win by two goals. Not impossible but very complicated
21 h 53: After, on the match, Lille clearly took the broth. Weah’s goal is miraculous because the Dutch club wandered around
21 h 52: Raging for the Losc which led to the score at the 85 th minute. But Ajax overturned everything in two minutes
93 e : It’s over. Ajax wins in Lille
92 e: It was still hot in front of Maignan’s goal with a Tadic number
92 e: The score reflects the gap between the two teams tonight but it’s hard for Lille
90 e: This end of the match is very cruel for Losc who thought they had made the Perfect heist but in two minutes Ajax overturned everything. The qualification goes away
89 e: 6 minutes of additional time
89 e: AIE AIE AIE …. THE SECOND GOAL OF AJAX SIGNS BROBBEY …
88 e: The penalty is very severe but in view of the match it is not a scandal to see Ajax come back to the score
85 e : Tadic equalizes on penalty
81 e: Penalty for Ajax. Sanches is fouled on Tagliafico. It is very very severe
78 e: There is a way to hold on. Ajax look like they got hit on the head with that unexpected goal
75 e: Ikoné replaces David on the Lille side
73 e: What a damn heist. But that’s why we love football.
72 e : Incredible scenario. Lille has been eaten since the start of the match and on a failed back pass from Tagliafico for his goalkeeper, Losc found the fault. A miracle
67 e: THE LOSC BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT !!!!!!!!!: WEAH TAKES ADVANTAGE OF A BIG RELAUNCH ERROR. IT IS THE HOLD-UP !!!! KESKYA
65 e: Frankly it would be a miracle if Lille did not concede a goal tonight.
64 e: Neres hits the bar !!! But there was a fault before on Maignan. In short, it’s very hard for Lille
63 e: And one more occasion for Ajax with a Blind strike going over it.
61 e: If Ajax takes place, the game of Losc raises questions. We had rarely seen the leader of Ligue 1 be dominated to this point this season. Not losing would already be a good operation
60 e: Change at Losc. The ghost of Yazici gives way to Luiz Araujo
57 e: Ajax’s team play is something. DNA, that’s what we call it.
53 e: Meanwhile, on the planet Mars.

52 e: What an opportunity for the Losc. Weah takes the upper hand in the Dutch area but his cross in front of the goal passes in front of everyone. The hold-up was not far away
48 e: Maignan who still saves the house on a cross from Antony in the area
48 e: And Klaassen who is still harvesting when he was alone in the area. Lille is doing well
45 e: Already a hot situation on the goal of Losc with Klaassen on the verge of taking an offering from Martinez
21 h 43 : First complicated period for Losc. Despite a good start, the Northerners were quickly suffocated in the middle where Ajax recovered a lot of balls. The Dutch dominated, had a few chances but so far still no goal. Au Losc to wake up in the second half
43 e: Very clearly, the Losc is not making it this evening. The very high pressing of Ajax poses a lot of problems to the Northerners who still have not had a big opportunity
35 e: And another opportunity for Ajax with a strike from Antony which still ends up in the arms of Maignan
33 e: Le Losc is having a hard time getting close to the opposing goal.
30 e: Ajax is clearly taking the upper hand over a Lille team which is struggling to revive
28 e: Maignan’s parade on a ball taken in the box by Antony. It’s getting hotter for the Losc
23 e: First shot on target for Ajax and Antony which forces Maignan to fold
18 e: Otherwise, no big opportunity for the moment. Lille got off to a good start but Ajax is gradually gaining the upper hand.
13 e: Yazici is struggling to stand out at the start of the match. The Turkish striker is the top scorer in the Europa League (6 goals). And can count on the support of a large Turkish community in the North to support it. The story in the article below. Am I doing my autopromo? Totally.

11 e: First yellow of the game for Alvarez, Ajax midfielder
11 e: David claims a penalty after being pushed into the box. The referee doesn’t flinch at all
6th: Compared to the start of the season, Jonathan David has undoubtedly lost in maturity and density in overweight terms. But since being sharpened, he has finally become a scoring machine. We’ll see if it continues tonight
4th: Little word on Sven Botman, the Dutch defender of Losc, who knows Ajax very well. He was trained there but never played pro. This is the opportunity or never to make them regret.
2nd: Unlike Ligue 1, there is no soundtrack in the Europa League. Suddenly, we hear absolutely everything the players say to each other. Mike Maignan has thus just called his defenders “Islamo-leftists”. It’s hot
19 h 57: The two teams have just landed on the rotten lawn of the Pierre Mauroy stadium. We hear the anthem of the Europa League which is light years away from that of the Champions League in terms of quality
19 h 53: Le Losc also wants to take revenge against the Dutch. Last year in the Champions League group stage, the northerner club lost in both matches against Ajax. Defeat 3-0 in Amsterdam and 2-0 to Pierre Mauroy. Not terrible
19 h 48: Let’s talk little, let’s talk well. It’s a real good match that awaits us between two teams in full flurry. Lille is leader of Ligue 1, Ajax dominates its championship. The two teams have lost only twice in the league and remain on a good series (7 games without defeats in a row for Lille, 12 for Ajax).
19 h 45: do you smell this scent of European evenings? Because here not at all. We are 50 in a stadium that can accommodate 48 . 000 people. I have two Dutch journalists who speak next to me in a conversation where I understand absolutely no words. And we hear the radio commentators who give the composition. In short, as the huge Zaho would say, it’s weird.
19 h 38: On the Ajax side, we have the announced team. There are also some absent and not the least. Guardian Onana, suspended for one year for doping (Bizarre because everyone knows that there is no doping in football). And especially the absence of Sebastien Haller, the club’s top scorer. He is neither injured nor suspended but the victim of an administrative error. Ajax’s Pierre Richard forgot to register him in the Europa League. True story.
