On Friday evening, the XXXVI round of the French "Ligue 1" championship began.

"Bastia" faced "Lille" in front of their home crowd. The hosts equalized against the team from Lille at the end of the match.

The first goal for the visitors was scored by Salomon Kalou, who found the net in the 32nd minute after a pass from Nolan Roux.

However, "Bastia" did not give up at the end of the match, and a precise strike from Wahbi Khazri in the 85th minute equalized the score.

If "Lille" had won, they would have secured a place in the UEFA Champions League, but after the draw, "Saint-Etienne" still has theoretical chances.

Interesting to note that in this round, the Parisian club "Saint-Germain" will have the opportunity to secure the championship title.
