Lille’s undefeated start to the season continued as they stayed second in  Ligue 1, following a 1-1 draw with Lyon. The home side made a perfect signing when Jonathan Bamba opened the scoring with just 22 minutes on the clock.  

Nineteen minutes later Lille left-back Mehmet Zeki Çelik turned the ball into his own net to put Lyon level. The composition of the contest changed on the 50th minute as Lyon central defender Marcelo was sent off for a second yellow card. 

Lille pushed to make their numerical advantage count, but where denied on several occasions by Lyon keeper Anthony Lopes who was in inspired form.
