O Lille today wasted the possibility of being isolated, to the condition, at the top of the French Football League, by yielding a home draw 1-1 with Brest, on the seventh day.
With equality, the Lille starts to add the same 14 points of Paris Saint-Germain, which hours before won at home in Strasbourg, by 3-1, and Monaco, which plays only Sunday, visiting Lorient.
Brest advanced on the marker at six minutes, in a bid with some luck from Guinean Mama Baldé, who already represented Sporting B and Sports of Birds, with Lille equaling 64, through Olivier Giroud, in the conversion of a great penalty.
Rather, Paris Saint-Germain had to go to the bank to rescue five holders to go around Strasbourg, Portuguese coach Hugo Oliveira, who, with Dário Essugo and Fábio Baldé on the team, went ahead, at 17 minutes, through the middle American Giovanni Reyna.
Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Dembelé, Hakimi and Doué started in the bank but entered during the first quarter of the hour of the complementary stage, with Dembelé being decisive, after failing a penalti, at 73, by watching the Ukrainian Ilya Zabarnyi, at 77, and making himself the 2-1, at 85, before Doué closes the marker, at 90+3.
The Lens, with the young Portuguese Mezian Soares in the field from 67 minutes, went to win, by 3-1, Troyes' house and rose to seventh, with 10 points, while his opponent is penultimate, with only four.
