In the first half of the match, Lille was like a cheetah on the prowl, firmly controlling the rhythm of the field. In the 37th minute, Sahraoui scored first with a low shot that went through the far corner of the opponent's goal. Then, in the 45th+2nd minute, Barker added a powerful shot to increase the lead to 2-0. However, just in the 45th+4th minute, Kiteishvili gave an assist to Graz Storm with a quick counter-attack to bring the score to 1-2. !

Jonathan Davey then deftly laid on an assist for Haraldsson as Lille struck again to seal a 3-2 win. ! [Second Half Highlights](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202412/202412121082812590913288.jpg) Statistically, Lille had 67% possession of the ball, hitting 9 out of 18 shots and 9 corner kick chances, while Storm Graz only had 4 shots and 2 corner kick chances. Nonetheless, Lille managed to win the match with a much better offense and defense. It is worth mentioning that Lille has been undefeated for 15 consecutive matches, including defeating strong teams such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Bologna and Storm Graz, and is currently on 13 points, temporarily jumping to the sixth place in the league and almost locking up the qualification for the play-offs (top 24). The coach who has led Lille to such brilliant results, Genesio, was the former head coach of Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan. He took up his post in the summer of 2019, but was unfortunately sacked after a year and a half in charge. Now, Genesio has led Lille to a new luster in the Champions League, not only steadily improving their ranking in the league, but also reaping generous bonuses. It is reported that Lille's trip to the Champions League earned a total of 18.62 million euros in participation fees, 9.1 million euros in match bonuses, 27.08 million euros worth of basic bonuses, totaling up to 44.8 million euros.
