Umtiti injured and replaced
Hard blow for the 2018 world champion, who got on the ground and held the back of his thigh. Muscle affected, he will give way to Alexsandro in defense.
The Pintol parade!!
New ball 0-2 for Lille, who stumble on a goalkeeper who is still decisive!! A free kick pushed back in the center benefits Yazici, who curls hard at the near post but Pintol gets the ball with a nice save!
Big scare for the Mastiffs!!
Umtiti passes through and allows the opposing counterattack. Bristic strikes on the right and crosses back for Motika, who arms at the entrance to the area, Chevalier captures on his line!! Be careful not to be surprised.
Slovenian double change
Fadida and Posavec replaced Rui Pedro and Lasickas.
Meanwhile, Lille no longer assured of first place
Bad news for the Mastiffs: Bratislava has just taken the lead against Klaksvik. LOSC remains at least qualified for the play-offs but is no longer guaranteed to be first in the group.
Yellow card for Rui Pedro
After a clash with Tiago Santos, the Slovenian striker received a late warning.
Goal finally cancelled!
After a long moment of hesitation, the break goal is canceled after intervention by the VAR! At the start of the action on the two-man corner, Cabella is offside after an involuntary throw-in from Zhegrova. We remain at 0-1.
BUUUUT FROM YAZICI, 0-2 FOR LOSC!!
Lille comes away with a billiard shot!!! On a completely disjointed corner, Bouaddi crosses to the ground and Yazici takes advantage of a confused ball in front of the Slovenian line to send it into the back of the net!!
Yazici feels bad
Cabella intercepts a good ball in the middle and starts the counterattack. Shifted to the left, Yazici goes to lock in and sees his shot blocked by an opposing defender.
Knight imposes himself in the air
With a sliding tackle, Umtiti concedes the corner on the left. Authoritarian on the following cross, Chevalier imposes his fists and clears the danger.
The Slovenes on the attack
The locals came back with the intention of pushing hard to try to get back together as quickly as possible. The Lille defense is curled up around its surface, but holds on.
It’s back to Slovenia!
A change among the locals, who are virtually eliminated and must absolutely react: Silva has taken Brest’s place.
LOSC does the right thing in the Slovenian slush
Despite hellish conditions and a pitch on the verge of passability, both teams offered some play. Dominant, Lille found the fault through Rémy Cabella (0-1, 16th), in all the good moves with Edon Zhegrova. But the Slovenes were able to create chances against an efficient Lucas Chevalier on his line. This result at the break allows LOSC to be provisionally qualified and assured of first place.
Additional time
One more minute to go before you can go dry your hair and cleats.
The solid LOSC
Lille regained control of the match and no longer let the Slovenes approach their area, notably with a good Yoro-Umtiti hinge.
Umtiti warned in turn
A new Lille defender sanctioned with a yellow, Umtiti roughly caught his opponent in the middle.
Premier carton pour Tiago Santos
Overtaken in his lane, the Portuguese full-back catches his opponent and receives the first warning of the match.
Stat’
Ljubljana has 7 Slovenian championship titles (including the most recent) and 8 national cups. A record that makes it the second most successful club in the country, behind NK Maribor.
Slovenians increasingly pressing
We are in a strong moment for the locals, who are more and more often in the Lille half of the field. Chevalier does not have to work again but LOSC must regain control.
Things are moving (a little) in the group
Bratislava has just equalized against Klaksvik, but Lille still remains virtually assured of their group.
Pintol encore vigilant
A corner kicked by Zhegrova is deflected to the near post by a Slovenian, who misses his clearance. The ball rises high to fall near the crossbar of Pintol, who boxes with his fists.
What a save from Pintol!!
The Slovenian goalkeeper relaxes at full length to get on the ground an almost perfect cross shot from Zhegrova, who was heading towards the small opposite net!! The station wagon wasn’t far away.
Cabella’s little number for nothing
In virtuoso mode, the Lille number 10 makes fun of three opponents in the Slovenian area before shifting Yazici, who draws a narrow net. The Turk was in an offside position.
Knight pushes back as best he can!
The Slovenian response immediately comes from Motika, who fixes the Lille defense and fires a violent shot that the Mastiff goalkeeper takes out with a nice dive after a rebound!
The Mastiffs virtually first and qualified for the 8th
While in the other match, Klaksvik also opened the scoring against Bratislava, the scenario favors Lille who are the first assured of the group, as it stands.
BUUUUT FROM CABELLA, 0-1 FOR LOSC!!!
The Lille people find the fault!! Cabella is at the start and serves Zhegrova on the right. His deflected shot is taken back by the Lille number 10, the ball is slowed down by the opposing goalkeeper but Cabella follows to put it in!!
Cabella tries her hand from afar
Positioned alongside Bentaleb since the kick-off, with André as leader, the young Bouaddi breaks a line with the pass and serves Cabella. The latter hits from outside the area but does not hit the target.
The first opportunity is Slovenian!
Superb cross fired from the right towards the entrance to the area. Rui Pedro throws himself to place a powerful diving header, captured on his line by Chevalier!
Bentaleb takes risks
Be careful of this type of back pass, Chevalier sees the ball coming quickly towards him but is not surprised by his teammate’s full-center transmission.
Zhegrova tire le premier
Bentaleb extends intelligently to the opposite side of the field, which allows the Lille winger to have space. He steps back on his left foot and unleashes a heavy strike, blocked.
Different styles of play
Lille are trying to get their foot on the ball, not an easy task, obviously. The Slovenians don’t bother too much and extend far away, without managing to use the second balls.
A decidedly very special start to the match
The stands are far from full, but the Slovenians present are singing at the top of their lungs… accompanied by music broadcast in the stadium. The lawn is in a… quite appalling state. The charm of the Cup?
Let’s go to Slovenia!
It was the Slovenes, in green, who kicked off this match on the 5th day of the Europa Conference League. It’s still raining heavily.
Kick-off is imminent!
The players appeared on a completely wet pitch, accompanied by the referee of the match, the German Sven Jablonski.
In C4 as in Ligue 1, Lille arrives launched
At the top of the group with 8 points and still undefeated, LOSC is doing the right thing in the Europa Conference League. If they are intractable at home, the Mastiffs have not yet won away, conceding a draw on the grounds of Klaksvik (0-0) and Bratislava (1-1). In Ligue 1, Paulo Fonseca’s men remain on a victory in Lyon this weekend (0-2). They are fourth in the French Championship, just one point off the podium.
Ljubljana strong at home, less on the European scene
Last in the group, the Slovenian club lost its first three group matches before snatching its first points by beating Kl Klaksvik on the last day (2-0). Title holders of their national championship, Ljubljana have just had six consecutive matches without defeat.
The Mastiffs can validate their presence in 8th
To qualify for the round of 16 of the competition, LOSC must win and, at the same time, hope that Slovan Bratislava (2nd in the group) does not beat KI Klaksvik.
The play-offs can also be assured, if: – Lille wins and Bratislava wins against Klaksvik;
– Lille draws and Klaksvik does not beat Bratislava.
Why French clubs are shining in the Europa League and Europa Conference League this season
So often disappointing on the European scene and for some struggling in the championship, the French clubs involved this season in the Europa League (Marseille, Rennes, Toulouse) and the Europa Conference League (Lille) are well on their way out of the group stages. Attempts to explain this successful start to the campaign which may give rise to hope for a spring full of promise.

The composition of LOSC with the young Bouaddi holder
No Jonathan David at kick-off, but rather Ayyoub Bouaddi, 16 years old and already appearing three times with the Mastiffs. Samuel Umtiti accompanies in central defense another young, slightly more established player, Leny Yoro. Angel Gomes and Alexsandro start on the bench.
Chevalier – T.Santos, Yoro, Umtiti, Gudmundsson – Bentaleb, André – Zhegrova, Bouaddi, Cabella – Yazici.
The match will take place!
Despite the bad weather, the referee indicates that the match will take place this Thursday!

A new point around 6:15 p.m.
For now it’s working. New update at 6:15-20 p.m. In the event that the match is postponed, perhaps to Friday, the authorities are considering whether another stadium near Ljubjana could be available.
In this case where this match would be postponed to Friday, the Lille club would have requested to postpone the match against Metz scheduled for Sunday 5 p.m.

Towards maintaining the match
The referee indicates that the match can take place. A new update will be made in an hour.
The match postponed?
In the event that the match could not be held this Thursday, a possible postponement on Friday in the same stadium would be very complicated, because downpours are still forecast for Friday.
If the postponement is for tomorrow, it would be in another stadium. And Losc should then postpone its Ligue 1 match against Metz scheduled for Sunday. This is a possibility explored by Lille leaders.
If Olimpia Ljubljana manages to postpone its match scheduled for Thursday, December 7, a postponement to the middle of next week could be considered.
Pessimism in the Lille ranks
The Losc people at the hotel are pessimistic. The ball does not bounce sideways. It’s the referee who will decide.

Is the match in danger?
The pitch is waterlogged at Stozice Stadium. A club employee runs a drying machine but it continues to rain.

How French clubs can qualify
Losc, like Rennes, OM and Toulouse in the Europa League, has the opportunity to ensure a very quiet sixth day.
Hello everyone and welcome to Ljubljana-Lille live in the Europa Conference League
Fifth day of the Europa Conference League group stage this Thursday, with Losc facing Ljubljana in Slovenia. The match kicks off at 6:45 p.m. at Stozice Stadium.
Lille can already validate its place for the C4 round of 16. For this, Paulo Fonseca’s players must win this meeting. A misstep by Slovan Bratislava against Klaksvik added to the Lille victory would send Lille straight to the round of 16.
Ljubljana-Lille, kick-off at 6:45 p.m., to follow on TV on RMC Sport Live 3, live radio on RMC and in our live text on RMC Sport.
