Lille Edge Roma 1-0 Thanks to Ozer’s Penalty Heroics

Lille secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Roma in European competition on Thursday night, with goalkeeper Ertuğrul Ozer emerging as the hero.

The French side took the lead in the second half through a well-worked move, but the defining moment came late in the game when Roma were awarded a penalty. Ozer stood tall, diving the right way to deny the equalizer and preserve Lille’s slender advantage.

Roma pushed hard in the closing stages, but Lille’s defense held firm under intense pressure, sealing three valuable points in their campaign. The result strengthens Lille’s position in the group standings and provides a confidence boost heading into their next fixtures.

For Roma, the loss marks a setback in their bid to progress, with manager José Mourinho left frustrated by missed opportunities and Ozer’s brilliance between the posts.
