Canadian soccer star, Jonathan David’s remarkable form continued as Lille stretched their unbeaten run to eight games in a thrilling 1-1 draw against Lyon. The Canadian striker opened the scoring just 17 minutes into the match. Capitalizing on a misplaced pass, David swiftly rounded Lyon’s goalkeeper and guided the ball into an open net, marking his 12th goal of the season and ninth in the last eight matches.
Lille controlled the first half, with several chances to increase their lead, including a powerful shot that rattled the post. However, they could not capitalize fully on their dominance, allowing Lyon to build momentum in the second half. Lyon’s Rayan Cherki nearly leveled the score with a fierce shot that struck the bar, and Ainsley Maitland-Niles saw his goal disallowed following a video review, adding to the tension.
In a dramatic finish, Lyon finally broke through in the first minute of stoppage time. Maitland-Niles outran his marker and delivered a precise cross, which Malick Fofana volleyed home for the equalizer, stunning the home crowd and securing a well-deserved draw for Lyon.
The result saw Lille move up to third in the Ligue 1 standings, with Lyon climbing to fifth, as both teams continue their pursuit of European qualification spots
