Chadrac Akolo outshines Victor Osimhen in Lille’s defeat to Amiens

Chadrac Akolo outshined Victor Osimhen in Lille 1-0 defeat to Amiens in Saturday’s Ligue 1 game.

Osimhen, who joined the Great Danes from Sporting Charleroi last month, bagged a brace in his debut appearance for Christophe Galtier against Nantes but failed to get on the scoresheet at Stade de la Licorne, with Akolo bagging an assist.

Lille started the game unimpressively after Boubakary Soumare received a straight red card in the 39th minute of the contest for serious foul play.

Amiens capitalised on their numerical advantage when Sehrou Guirassy broke the deadlock in the 70th minute after receiving a pass from the Democratic Republic of the Congo international Akolo.
