AS Monaco vs LOSC Lille

Monaco drew 1-1 with Lille at Stade Louis-II on Sunday, and the point left both clubs on 15 points after eight games. Lille took the lead in the 24th minute. A high press won the ball back and Ethan Mbappé finished from close range, with S. Diaoune setting him up. That was the only goal of a first half in which Monaco had most of the ball. The game turned in the 66th minute, when Lille were reduced to ten men after a red card for an uncontrolled challenge. One report names Tanguy Kouassi, though another post points to a different player, so the name is not certain. Monaco levelled in the 74th minute. Edan Diop put in a cross that no team-mate touched and it went into the net, helped by Flávio Nazinho's pass. They finished with 64 per cent of possession. Neither side is likely to be happy. Lille stay top on goal difference (+5 against +4 for Monaco), with Lyon and PSG one point behind on 14.
