Bastos lifts Lille over Nice

Soccer Betting Lines

12/14/2008 - Nice, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Michel Bastos scored seven minutes into the game and his goal stood up in a 1-0 Lille win over Nice at Municipal du Ray, the first time Lille has won at Nice in almost 20 years.

The win lifts Lille over Nice in the Ligue 1 table and into seventh place, while Nice is winless in its last three games and sits in eighth.

Lille took its first chance of the game in the seventh minute when Ludovic Obraniak dashed down the left wing and crossed for Bastos, whose left-footed blast gave goalkeeper David Ospina no chance.

Nice managed just one shot on target throughout the match, but it came from the foot of Emerse Fae and it forced goalkeeper Gregory Malicki to make a good save.

Lille could have added to its lead late when Bastos had a long-range shot skim the crossbar.

Lyon remained three points clear of the rest of Ligue 1 after a scoreless draw with Marseille, which jumped into second place, while Lorient handled last- place Le Havre, 3-1.
