Lille OSC - FC Lorient 3-1

Ligue 1, 2 April 2023

For our annual footballtrip, my friend and I go for the first time together to a match in France. The match is in the early afternoon and the stadium only half full. Lille plays much better than the guests from Bretagne but they adjust them selves to the slow pace of Lorient. After Lorient scores the equalizer, les Dogues refind the gas pedal and Zhegrova scores 2 late goals. After the match we go into the nice city of Lille for a lunch at a local creperie for lovely galettes with apple cider. We decide not to stay in Lille for the afternoon but drive back to Antwerp. Since today is the Flanders Tour and the sunny comes through, a lot of people are outside for a beer. We drink a few of them, have some fries and go back home. Nice to see the big stadium in Lille but the vibe in the stadium is much less than in Lens.

Tickets:

Very easy to get and cheap (13 euro per ticket). Also parking nearby.
