After following the almost Marseille comeback at the start of the evening, Lille controlled their game to avoid such a scenario. Losc thus settled for a 1-1 draw against Sturm Graz in the round of 16 second leg of the Europa Conference League, Thursday March 14. Enough to ensure their qualification for the quarter-finals thanks to a large 3-0 first leg victory in Austria.
In a tasteless encounter, Paulo Fonseca’s men did the job by opening the scoring with a breakthrough from Hakon Haraldsson, who found Tiago Santos behind (1-0, 43rd). Before giving Sturm Graz hope from a corner, with Tomi Horvat passing and Mika Biereth’s powerful header at the drop (1-1, 45th). Remy Cabella, substitute in the first leg, tried to ignite this match further, but came up against Vitezslav Jaros, author of five saves. Lille will know their opponent on Friday, following the draw at 2 p.m.
