00:00Two of Liga 1's top sides meet a 6th place Nice, take on 4th place Lille with a chance
00:07to move up to 4th and 3rd respectively.
00:10Will Les Aiglons fly high or will Les Dogues fight back?
00:15Let's find out.
00:16Away we go on the French Riviera, matchday 11 of Liga 1.
00:22Nice in their traditional red and black, shooting from left to right as we watch on in this
00:28first 45, Lille away team in dark grey.
00:46This be a break to the current deadlock, Fernandes Pardo wriggles away from Bombito, he's cross
00:55blocked but it's back with Baka now, Andre looks to chip it on towards Zagroba, it's
01:00cut out and Nice will look to counter.
01:04That's a nice idea from Alexandro there to read it and Chevalier, part of that season's
01:11Liga team of the season.
01:15It's his wing here though which is exposed as Fernandes Pardo closes in on Boka and fires
01:20it beyond the Polish keeper and Lille has the lead, 1-0 just beyond the quarter hour.
01:34Well quick as a flash, Lille break the deadlock.
01:46Nice judge by Endai Ishimie and so much space, Fernandes Pardo on his first start scores
01:57his first goal.
02:02The Ghent summer signing is off the mark in Lille colours, Bombito tried to get there,
02:18the teenager had time to set himself and pick his spot, Boka got a hand to it but not enough.
02:29They added Juventus to that list as well a few days ago, here though they're contending
02:37with one of France's best, initial attack coming to nothing but that's a brilliant ball
02:46through.
02:471-1 which Mohamed Ali Chou can't take advantage of, here though comes Guesson, Boka to his
02:54left, here is Jeremy Boka straight at Chevalier.
03:01Two minutes are up but as Lille break away, will they have time for one more, they won't.
03:09David goes down but the whistle is only for half time.
03:15Jonathan David asking for a foul at the end of the second half, that is the whistle for
03:19the first half.
03:20Beautiful 45 minutes of play, two of the greatest teams in Lille today, it is 1-0 Lille.
03:30Super sub, will this sub prove to be super as well as we get back underweight, interesting
03:39approach there, Nys almost with a rugby style kick into touch, deep into the Lille half,
03:47can't say I've ever seen that before, at the start of a first or second half,
03:56let's see if there's a clear game plan as part of that, they have
04:01pushed players forwards, trying to get Lille pinned back in their own half from the very outset here.
04:11In the end though, Bombito forced to go all the way back too much in Boka,
04:15it's Mohamed Ali Cho who is sitting at the top of the Nys tree, down the other end,
04:23here comes Fernandes Pardo again, wriggled away from Ali Addi, there is Diop for the first time,
04:33Boga, Diop again, Rosario, Jeremy Boga, now it's Nys being patient, Boga now heads for the byline,
04:44gets the cross in and found the head of Tanguy Ndombele, Diop gets on, leaves it, there is space
04:52behind him and Ndombele waits for the overlap from Klos and there's your equaliser, well we said it
05:02was a super sub and there's another example, Sophie-Anne Diop brought on at half time,
05:08levels things up within 10 minutes of entering the fray.
05:18Lofted forwards to Diop by Ali Addi, he started the move,
05:24well left by Guesson and Ndombele waited for the run from Klos,
05:29he fired it across the six yard box and Diop there to flick it home with his backheel.
05:39Smartly done, Chevalier couldn't quite get a toe to it.
05:48So too is this man though, Fernandes Pardo, heads for the byline, cuts it back, here's Andre
05:54off the post, comes back to the captain, he tees it up for Mitchell, back up and Leo restore their lead.
06:00Oh they hit the woodwork twice last week,
06:11it was looking like it might be another frustrating afternoon but then on the second chance.
06:20Great work again from Fernandes Pardo, picked out Andre, he fired straight into the base of
06:27the upright but then kept his head on the rebound and teed it up for Mitchell, back up
06:32and the Dutch left back scores his second of the season and Leo's second of the afternoon.
06:46With his first ever goal, plenty of height to add, two meters tall the goalkeeper.
07:08Will this be an extraordinary end? He's lifted in, in the direction of Borja,
07:13he went beyond the keeper and it did, in the 96th minute.
07:22Nice make it 2-2 and send their fans into raptures again.
07:28Leo failed to hang on to a lead for the second weekend running
07:33and for one super sub to another Tom Lusche is the man who saves his sight.
07:46Well Guesson will get the assist, don't think he knew much about it but Lusche only needed one touch
07:55and he found the bottom corner off the inside of the woodwork.
07:59Fronke's heads down the touchline and the woodwork which has saved Neves so many times this season,
08:09nine in all, continues to work for them.
08:15For the second matchday in a row in aggregate time,
08:25they'll end up getting drawn and their dreams of being third in the league.
08:32This a paid franchise greets the final end of the day, it is 2-2 here in Nice.
