The blow of the offensive breakdown. Lille, which nevertheless evolved at eleven against ten for an hour, conceded a sad draw (0-0) at home against the last, Bordeaux, Saturday during the 30th day of L1. An event for the Girondin clan which, with this result and this tasteless meeting, offered its first match of the season without taking a goal in the league. A first since last season, May 16, 2021. For its part, Losc, hasclose to the disappointing draws at Stade Pierre-Mauroy against Metz and Saint-Etienne in recent weeks, signs a new poor performance against a poorly ranked.
With this draw, the Northerners missed the opportunity to return to Nice and Rennes, who had neutralized themselves earlier in the day (1-1). With 47 units on the clock, respectively four and six less than the Aiglons and the Bretons, the podium, synonymous with the Champions League, remains at a distance for the Mastiffs.
1 – Bordeaux signed their first clean sheet in Ligue 1 since May 16, 2021 (3-0 v Lens), ending a series of 30 meetings in the top flight by conceding at least one goal (71 goals conceded in total) . At last. #LOSCFCGB pic.twitter.com/y2NHpcPuOg

The match was slightly animated shortly after the half hour mark with the exclusion of Bordeaux’s Enock Kwateng for two consecutive warnings for fouls on Bamba (21st, 36th). But even in superiority, the Northerners, clumsy in the last pass, failed to pack the end of the first period.
Upon returning from the locker room, the Mastiffs stepped on the accelerator. Onana first scored with a header but his goal was disallowed for offside (60′), just like that of Tiago Djalo, who had scored from the right after a badly repelled corner (64′). To force the decision, Jocelyn Gourvennec even launched Renato Sanches, back from injury, in the last quarter of an hour, along with Hatem Ben Arfa, who almost scored by countering a ball, but Poussin made a good save (78th).
The Lille have multiplied the centers and the corners in the last minutes. In vain. A new goal from Onana disallowed for offside (90th + 1) sounded the death knell for Lille’s ambitions and the players left the lawn under the whistles of their supporters after another disappointing performance.
