VIDEO | Ligue 1 Highlights: Lille vs Clermont Foot
The third-best home team of the season and fourth in the overall standings, LOSC Lille, aimed to keep the good streak going at home and climb the ranks to secure not only European spots but also a place in the Champions League. On the other hand, Clermont Foot seeks to rewrite its story in the second half of the season to move up from the bottom of the table.
Despite Clermont Foot having the first chance of the match, Lille's offensive prowess at home was evident, with the home team taking the lead in the early minutes and sealing the deal in the first half with a 4-0 scoreline, including a brace from Jonathan David. The Canadian is the fourth-highest scorer in Ligue 1, and that was enough in one half for the locals to secure victory.
With this result, Lille climbs to the fourth position, tying with AS Monaco, which dropped points this Sunday by drawing against Le Havre. Solidifying their European positions and advancing in the overall standings, while Clermont Foot will finish in the last position, with relegation closer than ever.
