Lille secured their second win of the season with a convincing 2-0 victory over Montpellier on Sunday afternoon. The match was played at Stade de la Meinau in Lille, France and saw both teams put in strong performances.
The match was a key encounter for both sides as they were looking to secure a clean sheet in the process. Jonathan David and Benjamin Bentaleb led the way for Lille, scoring two goals each in the match.
David, who is known for his aerial ability, scored first after just four minutes of play. He headed home a cross from Yohan Cabaye, giving Lille the lead. Bentaleb then doubled their lead five minutes later, slotting home a low shot from close range.
Montpellier struggled to find any rhythm in the match, with Lille's defense playing well throughout. They kept Montpellier at bay for most of the game and only conceded the two goals that were against them.
The result means that Lille have now won three out of their last four games, while Montpellier have lost all three matches they've played so far this season. The match was also important for Lille as it helped them stay ahead of Monaco in the French league table.
Overall, it was a good performance from both teams, but Lille emerged victorious thanks to their attacking prowess and solid defense. It will be interesting to see how they perform in their next match, which is against Strasbourg on Saturday.
