After losing by the same scoreline in the first half of the season, Lille got revenge thanks to goals from Hakon Haraldsson (44'), Félix Correia (49') and Matías Fernández-Pardo (58', penalty).

Earlier, Strasbourg beat Nice 3-1 and ended a run of three straight draws to strengthen their hold on eighth place, keeping alive their hopes of qualifying for European competitions.

In the other match played this Saturday, Rennes defeated Brest 4-3 and stayed in sixth place, also in the fight for a spot in next season’s continental competitions.

Despite being behind on several occasions, especially after two goals from Junior Dina Ebimbe (4' and 57'), coach Franck Haise’s team responded with two penalty goals from Esteban Lepaul (35' and 74').
