In the key match of the round in French Ligue 1, "Lille" and "Lyon" fought for a place in the "top 3."
Idman.biz reports that the score ended with a minimal advantage for the guests.
The tension of the game was memorable for two moments: first, the sending off of "Lille" head coach Bruno Genesio with a red card, and second, 44 fouls.
This indicator made the match at the "Pierre Mauroy" stadium the most brutal game in Ligue 1 since February 2020. At that time, such statistics were recorded in the "Nimes" - "Dijon" match.
But the difference is that then it was almost about outsiders, now this was recorded among the most playing, fan-favorite teams of the French championship.
The fate of the match was decided by Nicolas Tagliafico's pass and Morto's header, which hit the goalkeeper in the opposite direction. One of the biggest contributions belonged to Lyon's goalkeeper Greyf, who put on an excellent game.
After this victory, Paulo Fonseca's team gave the first place to "PSG" only due to additional indicators.
