Ligue 1 – Day 3 – Lille: If Nicolas Pepe is gone, the offensive animation of LOSC remains exciting

Remained dumb in Amiens (1-0), the attack of the LOSC began the meeting without its only artificer of the season, Victor Osimhen, double scorer against Nantes (2-1) but left on the bench by Christophe Galtier. Just twenty minutes, because Loïc Remy had to give him his place prematurely, touched behind the thigh (18th). From the famous "Beep-beep" still remained the B and the I, both Jonathan being aligned on the left and in the axis. It is, however, from the right wing that danger springs forth first. Yusuf Yazici started firing drums and sent a bright opening to Bamba, whose crushed strike was blocked by Ruffier (1st). Taking charge of the game and the stopped phases, the Turk even alerted Stéphane Ruffier on a free kick (23rd).

Both placed in false feet, Yazici and Bamba left their respective wings to offer pass solutions to Ikoné in the heart of the game The multiple combinations and short games offered besides the best situations of the first period, by Osimhen (26th), Ikoné (29th, 42nd) or Yazici (45th). Very complementary, the three offensives reveled in the apathy of the opponent and shone by their mobility. The realignments of Bamba and Yazici, who did not hesitate to dezon and go further, left Celik and Bradaric free to devour their sides. The Croatian, particularly incisive, found besides Osimhen who concluded the flat of the foot (1-0, 37e). A renewed activity after the break, since the quartet touched the leather in turn before a generous penalty awarded and converted by Bamba (2-0, 69th). Before the coup de grace, by Osimhen, obviously (3-0, 75th). From London, Nicolas Pépé can have a smile: the next generation is assured.

It's heavy this game. In another very different style our attack will still turn heads this season! #LOSCASSE
