Les Lillois ont r̩alis̩ un festival face au Golden Lion. MAXPPP РPASCAL BONNIERE

Lille started the year with a bang, crushing the Golden Lion (12-0) from Martinique, Saturday January 6 at home, to reach the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.

There was no suspense at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy between Losc, fifth in Ligue 1, and its opponent from Regional 1, the sixth level of French football.< /p>

Lille started 2024 with an offensive festival marked by the hat-tricks of Edon Zhegrova (33rd, 41st, 42nd) Jonathan David (25th, 36th, 75th) as well as the doubles of Yusuf Yazici (11th, 45th) and Hakon Haraldsson (64th, 78th). Tiago Santos (57th) and Amine Messoussa (89th) joined the party.

Faced with amateurs based in Saint-Joseph, a town of 16,000 inhabitants located in the center of Martinique, Paulo Fonseca decided to field his best possible team, undoubtedly to avoid potential disillusionment within this competition full of surprises.

Huge Zhegrova

Right from the start, his players showed great seriousness, in a light rain, confiscating the ball and working to recover it when they didn't. had not.

Double passer then triple scorer, Kosovar Edon Zhegrova shone during this offensive orgy, even scoring two goals in quick succession, before the break, in his favorite position: on the right side, rolling in strikes with his left foot.

An enigma of the club since his arrival in the North last summer, the young Icelandic Hakon Haraldsson (20 years old) took advantage of this meeting to build up confidence. The Mastiffs made short work of the Lions, returning to victory after concluding the year 2023 with a defeat which left a stain on Strasbourg (2-1). Six-time winner of the Coupe de France (1946, 1947, 1948, 1953, 1955, 2011), Losc therefore continues its journey in the event.
