In the second leg of their Champions League Group stage match at the Stade de France on Tuesday night, Lille and Montpellier were able to secure a comfortable victory for both teams with goals from Jonathan David and Bentaleb securing a clean sheet.
The first half was marked by a number of chances for both sides, but it was only in the second half that things started to take off. The game was played in a very tactical fashion, with both teams playing with a high press and trying to get into the box as often as possible.
Jonathan David opened the scoring for Lille just before the hour mark, after a good run down the left wing by Christian Eriksen. Bentaleb came on shortly afterwards to equalise for Montpellier, but the score remained level until the end of the game when Lille scored a third goal from a corner kick.
Overall, it was another excellent performance from both teams, who showed great composure and determination throughout the entire match. It is clear that they have a lot of quality players, and this win should give them confidence going into the next round of the competition.
